WiFI range extender?
-
Can you just reposition the main WiFi router?
When we moved into our house, I tried some WiFi extenders which worked but I found the speed to be slower on anything connected to the extender, plus sometimes there was a delay for a device switching from the router to the extender. So instead, I just moved the main WiFi router to a more central place in the house and it solved all the issues. If you have the option... good luck.

Repositioning the router is an option. But, I used to have it in the
mastermain bedroom. But connectivity into the living room, whichis right below Bedroom 1 in the floorpan was a problem. It might be because we have metal studs in the walls, and it was a diagonal line to the living room. Moving the router to Bedroom 1 solved that. Exactly. It's really just for casual web browsing when I'm in bed.I assume George's main usage of the WiFi is not Ego shooters, or playing Minecraft, or watching uncompressed 4K movies, so bad latency or bandwidth may not be an issue and a range extender works well enough.
Yup, simple web browsing and stuff when I'm in bed. If I need serious bandwidth, I'll go to bedroom 1, where that German pr0n streams beautifully.
