Wireless Network for the Whole House

Hi Techdee,

I think you will need to use another router on the second floor of your house if you do not get the signal on the floor you are on right now. It will help boost the strength of the signal so that you can successfully get the wireless on that floor.

I bet the range is a bit far from the floor you are on to the second floor, and that is why you cannot find a strong wireless network signal on the second floor, hence the router comes in to boost the signal strength so that you can be able to have strong wireless on the second floor.

Hope this helps.

You need to increase the signal strength. For this purpose you can either change the direction of your WiFi connection and you can place it near to a window that is close to the up floor or you can use a device with multiple antennas and your signal strength will increase automatically. This will increase the range of signal and you will be able to receive your signals on the other side of your home. You can also buy a new router device for this purpose also or multiple routers can also solve your problem.

It will be easy if you are able to move your current device to another location so it get closed to the up floor but in case the signals are really low then you can buy a device of multiple antennas and it will increase the signal strength to your whole house.
