I want to change to a router with a frequency of 5Ghz. Can advise kokoy nikoy kokoy powerful not very expensive (within 6k) router or a solution to this problem, maybe what kind of amplifier to put?

Answer

Hello. There are a lot of nuances in your question. For example, the speed on the cable from the router in the evening is normal? Just the speed in the evenings can fall because of the load on the network provider.

About the fact that the speed is small because of interference from neighboring networks. It can be. Are there any new Wi-Fi networks in the evening? Are there a lot of them? It’s strange that changing the channel of Wi-Fi network does not affect the speed of internet via wi-fi. If possible – put the router in another place.

I wrote about choosing a router with Wi-Fi 5 GHz in the article Choosing a Wi-Fi router with 802.11ac (5 GHz). Inexpensive models. Also your devices must support networks in the 5 GHz band, or will connect at 2.4 GHz.

But I can not guarantee that this will solve your problem with low speed on wi-fi.
