Hi everyone.
Right now I have an ADSL router on the first floor, inside my room. I have WiFi on the first floor at the top of the desk (good signal), however not on the second one. The signal becomes way too weak and sometimes it doesn't detect it at all.
I am soon getting a Speed Booster, HA-35, it basically uses 4G + ADSL. That's to increase speed, considering I can't get VDSL or even FTTH where I live. It will be placed on the second floor however since that's where I have good 4G+ signal (I wish I could put it somewhere in the middle but I won't have good 4G if I do). The current router I have will be gone, I am not allowed to keep it.
My question is:
Considering with this ADSL router I don't have WiFi upstairs, does that mean I won't have WiFi downstairs once I put the new router upstairs? My goal is to have WiFi on both. I don't care that much of the signal, if it's half (downstairs) I will be happy, but if it's 1/4 or even nothing at all then there is going to be an issue.
Last but not least, is there a way to strengthen wifi signal from settings without having to purchase things like extenders etc?
''Finally, wireless signals tend to be stronger below the router than above it, so when placing the router, the higher the better.
If you plan to use the same one upstairs and downstairs, consider placing the modem/router upstairs, if possible.''
I read this somewhere. Is it true?
P.S Sorry for the lack of knowledge.
