Scrappile Posted August 8, 2017 Report Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) My router for my computer is up stairs, my computer is down stairs. It has always be pretty slow, and unpredictable. I just deal with. Well after looking around, (seems to be worse lately), Iive been looking at a new router. Mine is several years old, maybe it is wearing out. I see there is a contraption called a Wifi extender. Hummm. I ask family members and my nephew said he installed one and it helped a lot. So, I check the internet. Read reviews and such, not too expensive. I bought a Netgear one that several sites recommended. Not the top of the line, but best bang for the buck. I received it today. The setup scared me, but I got it setup in only two tries... not bad for an old gummer like me. So far I am very impressed. It has really speed-ed, ah sped things up! Hope it lasts. Not use to not having time for a glass of wine between page changes.... wait a minute... may unplug it... no glass of wine.??...
