I live in an old building with no wired ethernet. My laptop's WiFi connects and I get like 1 mb/s, really shitty.
If I bought a super long range router and then bridged it to my laptop via ethernet, would this improve my speeds? Or is there no such thing as a "longer range" router?

A router would only be able to retransmit the signal from your laptop, so it wouldn't do shit
The best you could do would be to put a signal booster somewhere between the router they're using and yourself, although it probably wouldn't do much

Same situation here.
I bought a pair of powerline adapters.
Speeds doubled, ping times halved.

ive looked into these but they wouldnt work for my situation due to the original router being on a different floor behind a locked room

by signal booster you mean a wifi range extender? reading the /g/ archives I see the netgear ex7300 recommended alot, it seems like I could stick that in my apartment somewhere and then wire it to my desktop / laptop

Depending on the size of your building. Quietly (and neatly) run a length of Ethernet to the router.
I did this and so long as you keep your mouth shut nobody knows.

Maybe try to fix the wifi first? Figure out what's the problem weak signal, interference or maybe link saturation? You can get decent speed (~10Mb/s) with -75db RSSI so definitely check that first. If you have strong signal and no one's using the internet connection besides you and you're still having low speeds, that may be interference, try changing the channels to 1, 6, or 11. Channel 13 might work fine as well but it overlaps so that's not guaranteed. Lastly, if link is simply oversaturated because one retard is using all the bandwidth while torrenting you can change QoS settings on the router

An adapter would still work if the house runs all on one fusebox, or at least the parts you want to connect.
t. using one right now

You need to pull wires or accept shit networking.

Holy shit, it's Saaya Irie. I can't believe she's 23 now.
>>58281752
just ask your mom and dad to get a wifi repeater for their old building/house
>>58281752
depends on a lot of things, but "old building" makes me think that the walls are interferring with the wifi signals
try looking for a particular point in your room where signals improve, and then install a wifi repeater in that place.

Get a phone with a high-speed data connection.
Also, 128kB/s is perfectly fast enough for everything except streaming porn.
You'd have to install an entire range of repeaters between your computer and the router. It's pretty much cable or bust. Powerline is your best bet, different floors shouldn't be a hurdle.
