Hi guys !! I need you help please .
I just moved in new apartment and i don't have WiFi here but i have a internet cable which allowed me to connect to internet !
How to get WiFi if i have only cable connections in my apartment ?
i saw some devices that can change the cable connection into a WiFi connection but i know nothing about it !
Thanks in advance for your answers :)
 
The devices you talk about are called "Routers".
You can buy one from the nearest store, for a few $.
You will insert your internet cable into the WAN port of the router, after you configure the router.
How to configure it, depends from router to router, there should be instructions with it.
Most of them have installation wizard on CD, which makes this step by step, quite easy.

Usually i use TP-LINK, because its low cost and just works.
Also two antennas 300mbps kinda helps, for a stable/higher connection.
For a good coverage(wi-fi connection) in the whole apartment, place the router in a central room if you can.
Usually walls dampens/lowers the coverage a lot, so placing it in a central room almost guarantees you will have nice coverage in the whole apartment.
Don't place it behind a tv/pc or metal parts, wardrobe isn't a good idea either.
 


Does this one get the job done ? what you think ?

If your other device is going to be in the same room probably yes.
In the reviews, some ppl say they have low coverage/bad speeds with this one, because of its size and no antennas, which is normal i guess.
Depends on what you want to use wi-fi for, it may do the job.
Also people say installation of this one is a bit tricky/complicated.
