looking to extend wifi range
I currently have a trendnet ac1750 router it sits in one end of the house. Would it be best to get another one for elsewhere im the house or use a access point?
Is there a product that works better with this router?
Solution 1:
You have different options, some easy, some not. Depends on what you want, what you have and any experience...
Buy a dedicated wifi extender. A simple device you plug into a wall socket and it repeats your wireless signal. Cheap + easy to setup
An access point. Exactly what it says on the tin. Brings wifi to a non-wifi network. Needs an ethernet cable to connect it to your router/switch. Can be expensive but fairly easy to configure.
A wireless router in "bridge" or "access point" mode. The hardest to configure but you can re-use an old router if it can be set in the required mode. Cheap but why go and buy another router? Needs an ethernet cable to plug into your existing router. Needs to be configured.
The easiest method? 1 - a "plug-in" range extender. From about £30.
