I've recently moved into a vey small apartment, in a building with 19 other equally small apartments (especially for senior citizens). Wi-fi is provided with rent and utilities, and it's usually quite good -- but it does fluctuate.
When the signal is unhealthy, my laptop gets very slow, and the tv sometimes cuts out. The desktop (XPS 3930, 64-bit, SS drive) has no problems. Since someone else often uses the XPS, though, I would like to speed up the laptop.
The building I live in has routers/modems (?) throughout, located high up on the walls. There's no way I can plug into the only closest to me -- or anywhere else, for that matter: it wouldn't be allowed.
I'm wondering if I could improve my signal with an inexpensive mesh system. I've been looking on Amazon, and have found some that don't have to be attached to a modem or router. Does something like this sound like it might help? Thanks for any information.
