My WiFi is set up n the dining area of our house. It’s on an outside wall too. Would not let the installers get in the attic and mess up all the new insulation we had installed recently. As a result of this WiFi reception on the other side of the house is very weak. What’s the best booster on the market? Help appreciated

We use this in our RV when at parks with poor WiFi.
I can give the password to folks several spots away and they stream TV.

I got a cheap gigabit adapter to run network on the electrical grid through an electrical plug, put another router out in the shop. Cheap, effective.
I got one of those to try in my shop, but it has it's own meter so even though the grid is the same, it won't backfeed through the meter for whatever reason.

If it's a single story house and you don't have a crapton of users on at one time, then something like a Netgear Nighthawk router should do you just fine. We run multiple devices streaming thoughout the house and also must have a dedicated internet for our security system, so a mesh system works best for us. We went with Orbi mesh and couldn't be happier.
