[QUOTE="Ranjith Sai, post: 2024316, member: 58538"] Your netgear router might be getting old, so your idea of buying a new router is well founded. Did you mean that the problem has started recently and the same setup used to work fine before? In that case just check the latency immediately after restarting the router once and again after 5-6 hrs of it being on. Just before you buy a new router, first try doing a factory reset and then check if there is any firmware upgrade. Finally if you can live with the router being out of service, just try flashing DD-WRT if your router supports. If nothing works out prefer Asus over anything else, though I prefer tp-link as I have always had good experiences with it. TP-link factory firmwares have issues and dd-wrt has worked like a charm (latency issues on some tp-link routers on factory firmware is a known issue-maybe you should have tried upgrading the firmware before you returned). Also please make sure the antennas are dual band (not just the router-some tp-link routers in my experience have single band 2.4ghz antenna and 5ghz antenna will be inbuilt or the other way round in some cases) and the antenna should be up gradable later with a high gain antenna if you choose to.[DOUBLEPOST=1428251480][/DOUBLEPOST] If you want to try wired connectivity and if it is not a feasible option to run the ethernet cable you can try power line adapter. It will cost you a good $95 if you buy them from amazon.com but at least it will be a gigabit port with good throughput (Don't buy the fast ethernet ones) [/QUOTE]
