I cannot go more than two (2) units away from mine and still receive a signal on my laptop. Also, if my husband is listening to his radio stream and I am trying to play a game, the speed drops tremendously.
Also in having only one (1) modem per building, it means that everyone in that building is using the same security access code. This means that there are people that know how to access other computers via that modem — so your computer is compromised.
Not necessarily so. Just remember any sensitive Web Site, such as the bank, Social security, VA requires an ID and PW. So that is 2 Passwords. If that isn't enough security then you can buy another router for your house only and put a ID and PW on that. So now you are 3 deep with Passwords and ID's. Gary
Again recently, I had to give my access code to the EMS when they came to my apartment because they could not access their modem on their unit. Wouldn't it be nice if they could have their own access via the Wi-Fi to access records they need to take care of us? I am thankful that it was not a life-threatening emergency when they were called and we had time to put the needed codes in their computer.
With the new Business Class Routers you get 2 wi-fi accesses per router one is Passworded and other is guest (no Pw or ID needed). So if you had the same business class router the firemen could get on as guests no PW needed.
As for your problem with bandwidth, it is hard to believe that one unit with maybe 2 computers operating is short of band width. But if that is the problem then you should consider upping the band width. - Gary
