I'm going to try one of these next week.
https://www.argos.co.uk/product/5585575?clickSR=slp:term:tp-link:2:34:1
Should be more stable than an extender, since it uses the powerline to have a "wired" connection to the router
I've been using one of these netgear wireless extenders/repeaters
https://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-range-extenders/EX6120.aspx
which is extending the range of my ubiquity unifi ac lite ap to the study. Router and ac lite are in the front room, a couple of concrete walls away from the study.
Missus is using the wifi in there and has been having issues with the signal saying it's good but then web pages are loading slowly or not at all.
Since lockdown is going to be going on for a while and she'll be working from home throughout, whats the best solution to getting wifi to cover that area better?
Should I run an ethernet cable from router to the netgear extender? Would need a splitter or switch, as I'm already running a cable to the desktop in the study, so would just branch off that.
Or do I purchase another ubiquiti unifi ac lite and either run an ethernet cable to that, or use it as an extender to the current wifi network.
Ideally I'd like a solution that isn't too expensive right this minute, with the option of spending some money over the next couple of months to make the wifi cover the whole flat and be stable enough for my missus to continue working from home. (currently not enjoying my role as IT support in my own home)
Any thoughts let me know
