hey,
i recently installed a TP-LINK TL-WR841N router at my home. The problem is, I have a two storied house and I only get the Wi-Fi signal on the second floor of my house where the modem is kept. I need Wi-Fi on the first floor also. Luckily, the first floor has a double height ceiling which allows the second floor to be connected to the first via an open balcony kind of space. Now, I was planning on installing a Netgear WN3000RP Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender on the second floor where the router is, dead in the center of the floor where the signal is super. But, I have been advided that Wi-Fi extenders aren't that good and I should consider installing a Powerline. But, I feel that the Powerline will prove to be much more costlier than a Wi-Fi extender. Can someone help me on what I should do? Is a Wi-Fi extender good enough to get a good Wi-Fi signal all across the house or should I consider a powerline or something else?
