I signed up with Slingshot recently and had them ship a new router the Netcomm 300N.

 

 

 

I have duly set it up the range of the thing sucked big time, and now due to very sucky wireless I have discontinued using the router and gone back to one that is older but has better range.

 

 

 

The range I needed was only about 20 feet through 2 walls nothing was interfering. I was getting -80dBm now with older router I get -50dBm according to Wifi Analyzer app.

 

 

 

Has anyone else had this problem and is my New Slingshot router faulty???

Brutus save yourself time and stress and go and look at routers not supplied by an ISP, normally the ones they supply tend to be cheap junk.

 

If you have fibre then the Asus RT-AC68U is good, think there is also an adsl/vdsl model of it as well (DSL-AC68U)

 

I got mine from pbtech, not overly cheap but one of the best routers I have ever had and no longer have issue with wifi that I was getting before.
