I play xbox in my room. Im not that far from the modem but still do not get good signal. My wifi is not the problem. I think it cant get to my room. I am thinking of getting a booster or extender to fix the lag. Which one should i get?

Test your internet speed & ping by having a laptop w/ wifi really close to your modem.

Then, try it in the room your Xbox is in. If there's no difference, it's not your wifi signal. It's your router/modem.

Also check the little signal bar at the bottom corner of your laptop, and see if it changes. It should be at least 3 bars strong in your Xbox room.
