Hello everyone,
I have a question for you all.
We have recently bought a two floor house and we are now finishing the renovation of the second floor.
I am looking for an optimal solution to get better wifi coverage on both floors.
At the moment I have a router on the first floor which doesn't not properly reach the full house.
In the renovated floor we have installed multiple Ethernet outlets directly connected to the modem which is placed under the roof.
Reading online it appears the best solution would have been to have a second router on the second floor connect through Ethernet to the other one. Unfortunately this is not possible.
Can I buy a second router and connect it directly to the modem? Can I then create the same wifi net so that I do not need to disconnect and reconnect every time I change floor?
I have seen simple wifi repeater exist but I do not understand if I can use the Ethernet outlets to give them beter connection. It seems they only spread the wifi or, again, can use an Ethernet cable which is directly connected to the router.
Am I wrong?
What is the best solution without spending too much?
Thanks in advance for your help!
