Home networking help/advice needed.


Recommended Posts

I have wired Ethernet access to my kids rooms at the back of the house. Each room is run wit CAT6 direct from the router. Each room has a 4 port switch into which they have all other wired devices.

 

The problem is, they also have loads of Wireless devices and the signal is not great. What I'd like to do is plug in an 'Access point' type device direct to the Ethernet cabling to create a WifI access point in their rooms.

 

I should add, I also need to add a 2nd access point in another back room which gets virtually no signal at the moment at all.

 

My questions are:

 

1, Having looked on Amazon (quick and easy to get), are the following devices suitable for what I want to achieve?
https://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-Link-Extender-Broadband-Booster-Channels/dp/B0B649T4TZ/ref=sr_1_39?xpid=rrkaBzWQ6huRZ

 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/WONLINK-Extender-1200Mbps-Repeater-Wireless-White/dp/B0FR4FRCZM/ref=sr_1_17?xpid=rrkaBzWQ6huRZ

 

2, Is there any reason why I shouldn't be able to run 2x of the above without issue between them?

 

My main router does have 2.4G, 5G,6G and 7, although I am not currently using 7 (don;t think we have any 7 compatible devices).

 

The bottom line is, I want to boost WiFi in 3 rooms at the back of the house that currently has poor connectivity.

 

If I've not provided enough info, please let me know.

 

Hoping somebody can help. 👍

I also got a good result with a Cudy access point that I picked up for no money on ebay. Designed for multiple WiFi devices

I already have the M4R Deco, but for some reason it plays up all the time hence why I'm looking for another solution. I've been running it in access mode for a while then it suddenly started messing about👎

I have a TP Link Deco M4R system, but it has started playing up.
