Hi guys, here's the dilemma I'm facing.
The crappy 2 in 1 wifi + modem TWC has seen fit for me does a terrible job at wifi. At some places in the house there's zero signal.
Now, the thing is: The cable outlets in the house are very few. (Old house.) Also we're renting so we can't put new ones there. Because of this, the current placement of the wifi modem is not good.
Here are my 2 options:
1. Get a wifi extender and put it somewhere so the whole house has OK wifi.
2. Get a powerful wifi router (like TP Link Archer C7?), connect it to the modem with a 100ft ethernet cable, and place the router somewhere more central in the house. The combination of the more powerful router + better placement should make a big difference.
What do you guys think? I'm leaning towards the second option.
