My router is in the living room since that’s where I need my wired connections. But the living room is all the way on one end of the apartment. There’s no wifi in the dining room/office and it’s spotty in the kitchen. We’ve tried a wifi extender but that doesn’t really work. I was wondering if something like the TP-Link TL-WPA8631P powerline kit would be a good solution. I would place the other end in the the dining room. Would it provide wifi to areas that normally have no coverage?
Apartments are small and easy to cover.
Just get a more powerful router to start with. Maybe one with swappable antenna jacks.
Position the antenna perpendicular to the direction you want to aim them. Maybe replace one antenna with a flat panel directional antenna aimed where you need coverage fill.
If that doesn’t work, you’ll want to run ethernet (apartment, so tuck under baseboards) to the dead zone and install a wireless access point (WAP) at the end.
