Hello everyone, hope you're all having a good new year so far!
So firstly, I bought this Wi-Fi extender from Amazon about a year ago to got in the top of my house to boost the bad wifi signal for my phone. I know you're supposed to put it in the center floor of the house, but I can't really do that.
I was looking at Netgear's Amazon page and I noticed that there is a better version of this Wi-Fi repeater with dual-band antennas with a much higher output but what attached me the most was the fact you can plug it into an ethernet cable and then use it as an access point, and I do have a spare direct ethernet cable in my room.
I was just wondering if this would give me better speeds/is it worth it? With this, I wouldn't have the issue of the repeater reciving a weak signal because it uses a direct ethernet cable and then makes that wireless.
The speeds i'm currently getting are terrible. I'm often using mobile data in my room for streaming and even doing things like sending messages/snapchatting.
Thanks
