Re: Huge wireless network issues - why are routers less reliable than a chocolate tea

It may not be expensive as you think.
And would definitely be cheaper than one of the high end 802.11N routers.
I have just done that myself, the wireless is exclusively for the laptop now and even that gets hard-wired when in media centre mode. The only thing that makes me think its not suitable for the OP is that setup is over several floors, whereas my setup was just over one floor wired and two floors wireless.
Not that running RJ45 between floors is expensive but it can be a pain to do and may not be possible if the OP is in rented accomodation.

To the original post: Out of interest, what router models have been used on this network? because the two named router models are known for the very issues you are having.
