FTR, USB 3.0 interferes directly with Bluetooth. Make sure you buy good cables. |

Honestly, I would be looking at better ways to connect your golf sim than 2.4. Again, does it accept ethernet? If so, you'd be much better inclined to buy a 100' ethernet cable instead of a better router. Probably cheaper.

The Skytrak golf sim unit itself cannot connect to ethernet but can connect via USB to the laptop or gaming PC thats using ethernet.

Then put your router on the end of that, connect your sim to the 2.4 and run your poker machine wired into the router. EDIT: This would allow you to turn the 2.4Ghz transmit power way down to avoid interference and only connect your sim. Last edited by htismaqe; 10-26-2020 at 08:18 AM.. |

You could just get a wifi extender there are some really good ones on the market today.

I have Spectrum and I purchased my own WIFI Router because I don't want my internet being used as an access point for Spectrum. You can put the modem/router into bypass mode (modem only) and then use your own router. Be sure to disable the WIFI on the Spectrum modem/router. Be aware that at times Spectrum will update the software and re-enable the WIFI. I got a dual band high power router for < $100.
My girlfriend has Spectrum as well and uses the provided modem/router, the 2.4 and 5g bands have different names. You can logon to the router and change the settings by plugging a cat5 cable into your computer and then into one of the switched ports on the back. The password will be on the tag provided with your modem. Change the default network ID and Password and change the logon password to the modem/router. |

My own opinion of extenders is that they suck up the bandwidth because they are always polling the router. Running cat5 cables in your home and adding a second access point will give you much better results.

1. Adding additional 2.4Ghz radios is going to increase congestion and probably ruin his networking stability. 2. Extenders actually halve the bandwidth between the AP and the extender unless they're dual-band and then you have to explicitly set it up to use one band for extension and one for backhaul. The only time it's really a good idea to extend your network via wireless is if you're using a mesh setup because those systems are designed correctly to not impact network performance on the backhaul. |

I think someone probably should have told him locating your modem/router in the upstairs of the house when you have 3 floors is a bad idea, you literally want it centrally located man. |

Either way thank you kings of the internet. I'm planning to buy my own router based on your recommendations, just worried the range will be too weak in the basement. Ethernet over power never heard of it. I have alot to learn.

I would definitely consider it. Not only faster but much more reliable connectivity. Wifi just isn't the same as a good wired connection. |
