Refer to first page or my signature. You are still using the DIR-615, which is considered very old. What is your budget? You will need a dual band router and your speed will increase.

I recommend the TP-Link C2300, or if you prefer Asus, the ASUS RT-AC1300UHP. I would go for the TP-Link C2300 personally.

In the future, will use AX, but C2300 and RT-AC1300UHP is good enough for now.

For your reference.
I'm using unifi 100mbps, TPLink C2300, 2 storey house too, router at 1st floor center living space.
2.4ghz can cover whole house with max 100mbps except grand floor toilet (closed door) at corner, about 10-20 mbps.
5ghz can cover 1st floor with strong signal and speed, but ground floor cannot cover all corner and speed < 100mbps.

Therefore, if you are ok with 2.4ghz to cover whole house is good enough. (Which i doing now)
If you prefer 5ghz, you may need go towards mesh wifi.

ok

Thanks Sifu
