Yes, it may well be worse at obstacle penetration, the wireless side of all the Verizon routers appears to be somewhat pathetic.
I thought that the netgear N900 was a router not an adapter. How is your home network put together?
Apparently the n900 is also known as the wndr4700 and it can run wds the same as my wndr3700. However i was under the impression that can only be done between 2 netgear routers - I never bothered trying it as I really only use the wndr3700 for streaming to a Vizio tv.
The device that you say is slower is connected wirelessly to the n900 or via ethernet?. If it is connected wirelessly is the n900 set up wityh the same ssid? wep security? no security? both radios on or only one? How exactly is the n900 connected to the rest of the network? Sorry, I just find it confusing as I wasn't aware that you could repeat from a non-netgear base router.
Hmm. Must be worse with them then, because I don't have anything located differently than my old setup/plan.
This is the N900 wireless adapter that I have- http://www.netgear.com/home/products/wireless-adapters/ultimate-wireless-adapters/WNDA4100.aspx Maybe it and the new router don't like eachother :(
Home network is rather simple. Just have the ONT in the basement, and an Ethernet jack on the wall in a second-story bedroom, with an Ethernet cable going from that jack to the MI424WR GigE. Then this desktop with the N900 is down the hall.
When moving, wireless on both setups, from the old ActionTec + N900 (sorry, forgot it's Model Number) to the MI424WR GigE + N900, I see no speed increase, actually slightly slower even, even though the new 75/35 plan is in place (tested/verified with a wired connection test).
