Sorry my bad, I got excited easily.
I tried 2 <RM100 wifi repeaters but with no avail, so I figured to switched out my old router. Im thinking a router <RM400.
May I further ask what's VoIP / IPTV?
Netgear is just a brand I came across with good branding and reviews and it appealed to me.
Hi, Patrick here. If you want to have your house fully covered by wifi, (of course with the speed that you have subscribe, not only the strength of the wifi), I suggest you use AP mode. AP mode meaning you use LAN cable from your first router connect to the second router, example, if you your first router at ground floor, you might have to pull one LAN cable from ground floor to first floor, and then do some setting on the second router. Everytime you go to first floor, you might have to switch to the first floor router to get the speed you have subscribe. My customer at Cyberjaya got 100Mbps TIME.com, and he spent close to RM1000 to get his house (3 storey semi-D, ASUS router (AC-1300UHP as first router, second router use TP-Link, 3rd floor use ASUS router, all connected using LAN cable), and he is able to get almost 100Mbps at 3rd floor using wifi on the third router. He initially use repeater on second floor, but the speed dropped below 10Mbps.
From my experience, repeater would only extend the range of Wi-Fi, but you will lose out more than 50% of speed. The best solution for wifi without scarifying the speed is AP mode. You can contact me if you're interested, I'm specially doing wiring for electrical, network and security system.
Cheers.
