I have a D- link Wireless AC 750 Dual Band Router.
I live in a 3 bedroom...Living and dining house.
The router is connected in one bedroom.
Am not able to get WiFi in the living and dining rooms and also at times in the other rooms.
Which is the best way to ensure good connectivity in all the rooms.
I use laptops, I pads, WiFi music systems and 4 mobile smart phones.
Hope to get some advice.

Thanking you

A wifi repeater should not be your first choice it trades coverage for a drop in speed and more latency. Even then to work the best it must be placed in a area that it can receive a strong signal from the main router and still deliver its new signal to the area that currently has no signal. This is not so easy to do sometime when you have walls and floors that absorb lots of signal.

So the best options to improve wifi coverage.

1. Use a AP/router connected to a ethernet cable, it is worth some effort to run a ethenet cable because of the stability of this solution.
2. Use powerline intead of a ethernet cable and still place a ap/router in the remote room.
3. Use moca to use coax tv cable if you have it instead of ethernet...

....then as a very last option buy a repeater/range extender.
