Anyone know anything about wireless routers or extenders? My current router sucks and can't get a signal in parts of our house. Do I need to upgrade routers? Or buy a extender?

    Had that same prob a while back....one of the BOTLs here gave me some pretty solid advice, pretty sure it was Tony 0patience but I could be wrong. Might wanna hit him up.

    I ended up just running an Ethernet cord and "daisy chaining" two routers on diff sides of the house, worked good for me. Allowed me to use the current router & an old one that had just been collecting dust. Saved me some $$$ since i didn't need to buy any new equipment.

    That one is pretty easy to set up and works well. I set it up in my parents house

    +1 to that. It could be that the router needs an update
