We have cable internet with optimum online.
Now the past fews month or so, the wifi sometimes doesn't work for a bit, then it works. Its a 2 story house and basement and we leave the router and the modem in the 2nd floor because that is where we use to mainly use internet so we had it installed there.
Now the wifi doesn't seem to be that strong in the 1st floor... and the basement. But there is also some wifi issues on the 2nd floor as well. Wireless router is netgear n600 and bought years ago. There was never much of an issue with it. If it matters the speed plan we get with our internet cable is 100mbps.
Is it possible that our internet has wifi issues because the router has gotten too old so to speak? Thing is I know the wifi signal in basement was never that good... but now it seems to have issues on first floor as well. But i think this is more optimum online.
I seen two routers on amazon that seem to have very good reviews.

These obviously are not strong enough for wifi signal to go to basement right? Its two story house with basement and around 750 square feet on each floor.
