Previous solution: Frtizbox 7390 supported by additional two Fritz repeaters. Although Dasführt to nochakzeptablen coverage but too much too low throughput. The repeaters amplify only a existing, already weakened by the concrete ceiling, wireless radio signal.
For orientation in the HW selection I took the chip leaderboard.
1st place D-Link DIR-645, 2nd place Asus, "fastest" 6th Place Trendnet TEW-692GR
First, I ordered the Asus and was completely satisfied. But since I miss a feature to shutdown the WPS Asus -has someone found ?? - I wanted him for return. Addendum on 7.1.2012 with the latest firmware 1.0.1.7c is solved the problem at least in the default mode, a big thanks to the attentive reader! In Access Point / WDS mode, there is still no WPS disable function. Ev. you need also not because the Fritzbox the "mother station" is in this mode.
But I have only once - thanks to Amazon! - The D-Link DIR-645 and the Trendnet to compare test ordered.
As an aside: The D-Link is even more "prettier" than the Asus, as one of the front does not see the connection cable, the Asus they are from the side. The only criterion for the design clients.
The menu is the way with D-Link on the most extensive and very systematically (but rather not for the layman), Asus relative and good for lay people - if one chooses the right erstwhile and when Trendnet a pure impertinence including faulty German translation, precisely when. access password (better take the English version).
All routers were then tested in succession in a direct comparison.
As a measurement function radio stream a permanent data throughput was in a Samsung Galaxy SII initially opened simulating. With the app "WiFi finder" I have received strength and data throughput measured. The WLAN function of the Fritz box was turned off. More measurement effort I did not want to keep me.
To make it short:
Even in the remotest corners I've had with the ASUS Super reception and 19 Mbit / s still very acceptable throughput because the other already amounted to useless at 1 Mbit / s. In the immediate vicinity (about 10 meters) were all the same at 65 Mbit / s. However, the Fritz box alone was able to cover only about 70% of the area at all.
So I keep the ASUS and he gets 5 stars
Now I use the Asus with my Fritzbox 7390 (Fritz box as a modem and DHCP servers and WLAN) as the Asus wired WDS Repater. The team plays well together, much better than the two Fritzbox repeaters that receive and amplify only the radio signal. Together with the Fritz box in the WDS mode, I'm now up to 75 Mbits.
Fritzbox menu warns that the WDS function with other Fritzbox WLAN routers quote; "Maximum safety, only with FRITZ! Box" offers. But that does not apply to a wired bridge but only with a wireless bridge.
Asus and Fritz have a time management function and go to the office at the same shot on dipping station.
