Good morning to all of you. Our son had his own apartment through us, and he is allowed to use the Wi-Fi from our router. Now the problem he had a weak signal flies out from time to time who he does on the laptop and what for his business. Does a Wi-Fi amplifier help who so what for one. Our router is from Telecom.
A repeater only makes things worse.
The best is a LAN cable.
Hm ok not just because he buys a PS 4 that should also go over Wi-Fi
I had a similar problem then got myself this: https://www.google.de/...swc&adurl=
am satisfied with it have no more problems.
And that helped
Yes, the speed is still the same, but the range is much greater.
I still have a tip if you want to try something and that you can crease a bowl with aluminum foil and put it around the router so you get more range the disadvantage is it just looks a bit strange.
Thanks, I would rather order the Wi-Fi amplifier
I always recommend using a cable, if that doesn't work, a dlan adapter (network via socket)
I've had very good experiences with Devolo. There's a starter kit that goes into the socket with a plug on the router, the other adapter goes into another socket and opens up a WLAN.

but only works if there are 2 sockets that are connected to the same fuse box in a connected circuit or a maximum of 2 circuits.
A WLAN amplifier CAN help, but only if it is placed in a place where there's already good reception.
Alternatively, you could make a hole in the ceiling, run a LAN cable up from the router and plug in a wireless access point there
https://www.amazon.de/...0873T3387/
it opens a new WLAN and sends the signal down the cable to the router.
The problem is that the more metal and other obstacles a Wi-Fi signal has to pass through, the weaker it becomes and the light it emits is weaker upwards than it does downwards.
hope i could help.
A new router like a FritzBox could also help, the speed ports from Telekom are not good.
It also depends on what type of one you have and which Wi-Fi standard your son uses, whether he uses 2.4 or 5GHz
A repeater also helps a lot with great distances or structural problems
I myself have the https://www.amazon.de/...00N80IK88/ in use in connection with a FritzBox 7590, because I also have to go through some reinforced concrete walls at a greater distance.
Is a wooden ceiling used to be an attic. Was then converted into an apartment
At least that's not a big obstacle, you can try to plug in the amplifier in the room directly via the router.
But he can only reinforce what he thinks about. So your son must at least have good Wi-Fi there when he is at the place with his laptop or cell phone.
That could work, but an amplifier can only pass on what it actually receives.
Your son must at least have good reception with a cell phone or laptop.
