pening lah... why extending wifi so expensive? it's a moderate size double storey home. currently using powerline but stopped working. iphones still can get wifi signal from 2nd floor but the smart tv poor performance (youtube can't load).

some say change router some say get an independent mesh wifi system.. which one is the overall best for normal user? just youtube and no gaming.

also, is this router crap? free from maxis 4 years ago.

the cables quite unsightly... no ethernet ports pre-installed. got tv outputs though. was researching and it seems that can use moca (something like powerline) but the adapters cannot get locally. amazon US have but seems like a hassle to buy and ship.

this means....... get a new router (with mesh function) and get 1 node from the same manufacturer? then place the node downstairs right?

power adapter cable not long enough to place elsewhere.....

i'm currently using maxis router from 4 years ago. looks like this.



not sure if this is crap. looks like only one way to find out. i need to change a new router.

for anyone who have the same problem. i changed my router for the maxis one (aminia AMINIA DL4480V1 ) to tp-link AX73. much much better coverage now in the entire house (both levels).
