HellO!

I recently assembled a desktop and i now face networking issues...
  • my router is in first floor
  • my desktop has a N150 wifi PCI card
  • It is getting connected to the router (my desktop is in 2nd floor)
  • but Net is too slow! :(
  • now my desktop is in 1st floor and the connectivty to router is also good and net is also good!

What should i do to bring the connectivity to second floor? Should i buy a bigger wifi router? (my current one is N300 linksys) or LAN cable all the way to second floor? (around 25 mts) or should i buy a better wifi PCI card N300?

Please advise

Get a LAN cable and connect it to your router

even I have a similar problem.. wifi between rooms are not good. and the speed also affects a lot. LAN cable is a safer bet.
