Hi Marcus, have you considered moving your current modem to a more central location to improve WIFI signal to all corners (maybe your communications incomer is limiting that opportunity)? Is the floor concrete or timber, this may limit the WIFI strength to the floor the modem is NOT on. Notwithstanding those items, I have a house which is very long (single storey) and the base WIFI (Apple Time Capsule) is up one end because of where the phone line comes into the building. Some years ago I bought a 30m Ethernet cable to run down the length of the house (through the ceiling but properly laid and fitted with fascia plates at each wall entry). At the far end I set up an Apple Airport Extreme (donated by Dad). This improved the wifi signal at that end of the house sufficiently to now service three extremely data hungry kids with constant video streaming "requirements". No problems for me. Once or twice a year I need to reboot the Express but for peace of mind probably not because it was technically needed.

My router/modem is a TP Link Archer VR 1600v— AC 1600 Wireless Dual Band It is connected at the front door and broadcasts wifi ok to the middle of both levels but not to the rear of the either level I decided to search for wireless range extenders and then came across power line adapter kits.I found both items made by TP Link and available locally off the shelf. My query is in parts.Would those using range extenders recommend I buy one? And would it be a TP Link model again?And then, would a powerline adaptor of a wireless range extender be the better choice.Regards Marcus Harris P.O.
