I have my main modem/router on the 1st floor and my PC on the 2nd floor. I connected the pc to the router via LAN cables and I previously bought a TP-link wifi extender, which can be set up as an extender or as an access point.
I wasn't satisfied with the connection since it was only an extender so I bought a TP-link 10/100 switch and connected both my PC and the access point to that. after that I've been experiencing lag spikes. So I removed the LAN switch from the equation and reverted the access point to an extender and voila no lag spikes.
Am I doing something wrong? should I just get another router? I have an old cisco router but its not dual band and the range sucks
