i have a RT-AC68U (asus) router and the 5ghz range does not get to the 2nd floor of my home how do i get the 5ghz to the second floor of my home external antennas? (the RT-AC68U has removable antennae) some sort of 5ghz bridge or something? i would prefer a solution where everything is on one SSID (i guess this would be the "bigger antenna" option) but it's not 1000% necessary please help google is useless for this for some reason

5ghz doesn't go through floors and walls well just leave 2.4 on in parallel and devices will automatically jump over if the signal goes to poo poo if you aren't happy with that then get one of those powerline networking things and get your router up on the second floor

is there a compelling reason you're insisting on 5ghz? are you trying to blanket your entire house with 802.11ac? unifi makes an ac AP but it's really expensive. personally i would put your existing router in the most central location where you actually need the speed and get a unifi or two to fill in the gaps around the edges (they support 802.11n so they're not exceedingly slow or anything)

A mac bluetooth keyboard is not capable of pressing ctrl+alt+del. I know mac del is more like backspace, but ctrl+alt+fn+del doesn't work either. The computer has win7. Win 8 wouldn't be a problem. Until today the client was using a literal second keyboard for logon only. The "fix" is to press ctrl+alt on mac keyboard and click del on the onscreen accessibility keyboard.

Uncle at Nintendo posted:streaming. there is a lot less compression on 5ghz if you really want 5ghz on other floors, buy one or more replacement antennas on a long cord, and run that up to the next floor. you may need an amplifier with this. this shouldn't cost more than like $60. you may need to double check that the antenna u buy supports mimo

i guess you said you need 5ghz for some reason so the 802-11AC ones are like 219 dollars on amazon each okay here is from their product page and i typed in prices from amazon/newegg

the 3 antennas are for both ranges but work in parallel afaik, different streams for the same connections, separating them wont help i guess save for single threaded connections?? idk either that well but be certain what you're doing with antenna configs that are aligned like MIMO ones are cuz that's pretty specific poo poo

i think op is saying that he'll get a higher quality video stream, and therefore fewer compression artifacts in his video personally 802.11n works fine for me so idk

good idea: run lmr400 up x floors so the router reaches the things, but don't run cat6 up x floors so it can reach the things

i recently found that turning one antenna 90 degrees opposed to the other improved throughput by like 10 Mbps on both of our computers. is that A Thing or is it just coincidence
