My router is in the living room since that’s where I need my wired connections. But the living room is all the way on one end of the apartment. There’s no wifi in the dining room/office and it’s spotty in the kitchen. We’ve tried a wifi extender but that doesn’t really work. I was wondering if something like the TP-Link TL-WPA8631P powerline kit would be a good solution. I would place the other end in the the dining room. Would it provide wifi to areas that normally have no coverage?
WiFi extenders have to be placed where the WiFi is still good, unless you’re running a cable from the extender to the router. People putting it where the WiFi is bad and expecting it to connect, over WiFi, and provide good results just confuse me.
Powerline could help, but anytime the fridge turns on or the microwave or TV or any number of things they’ll knock it out.
