Ah that's handy. I need one ideally I can stick onto the wall so it's not on the floor in the hall. Don't need the VoIP.
I guess I need to do my research on routers. I might upgrade to 1gb in the future who knows, so will probably go for a good one. Cost isn't an issue. That asus 5300 one looks like a scary beast although not sure if it can be wall mounted. The flat isn't large and at most the signal has one wall to through as the hall is in the centre. As I said as well, walls seem thin (hurrah to newish developments). There are a lot of networks around however.
The wifi adapter I have for the pc is a Belkin N from 2010. Not used wifi on the desktop in ages so not needed to buy one. I see some around that support ac and have some nice external antennaes which should help ensuring I get close to 100mb?
Isn't the hyperoptic router ac? I'm not in the flat so can't check until the weekend.
The Hyperoptic router wifi is sadly N 2.4Ghz, not AC. Hopefully soon they will run out of their bulk-buy N routers and order in a load of AC routers.
Not that I need an AC router though as I don't need any faster than like 40Mb speed for my iPhone updates, but I'd buy their AC version whenever they announce they have some.
Living in a flat you are almost guaranteed the same speed no matter what room you're in. My previous BT HomeHub5 (wifi AC 5Ghz) and this Hyperoptic router gives a 3/3 bar wifi signal to all 4 of my neighbours on the same apartment floor - even though somehow the insulation and sound dampening is extremely good in my 3y/o apartment.
Just make sure both the router and mobile device are wifi AC 5Ghz, and the router has a RJ45 WAN socket so you don't need the Hyperoptic router to act as a modem.
There's no need to nit-pick about different brands, antennas and such. These days there's not much difference between any of the AC routers, anyone who disagrees have just been re-reading benchmark reviews over and over.
