Hi there,
First of all I'd like to mention I'm not familiar with networking so dont mind my poor wording about it all.
Basically our wifi is not strong enough. The router is set up in the living room, and being wireless in the dining room just one and a half room away is pain. As long as you are wired with Ethernet, it's alright, but wireless-wise the signal is really weak. Router always has one PC wired with Ethernet cable at all times, and it is upstairs working without any problem. When you are just a few feet away from the router, the internet speed goes down drastically, to like 1MBps.
Here is my question - how can I extend the wifi in the house? I was thinking of getting a wifi extender with Ethernet ports, so I could potentially wire my PC and a laptop in the dining room with an Ethernet cable. If this is possible, how would it work? Would I have to set it up the same way as a router or would it just be like a plug and go?
I also want to avoid putting Ethernet cables through my entire house because my animals might chew on them or god knows what else.
The router is a Virgin Media SUper Hub 3.0 (vmdg505/tg2492lg-vm)
If more information is needed, please tell me and I will do my best to provide it!
