Two Routers?
11 Answers
Have terrible problems with WiFi signal strength. Set up as follows - router is taken of a telephone extension no problem with fixed connection for computer in same room. WiFi signal is excellent in. Go into room across hall and WiFi signal was weak and keeps dropping out even though WiFi signal is OK at the same time in computer/router room. Got a devolo 500+ kit and plugged router into that and added other half with wifi booster? of it to room across the hall with tv and set top box now hardwired. WiFi still *** being the same strength as original WiFi unless happening to be sitting in top of sender. Is it possible to add another router on the phone line? And use just the WiFi signal on that?
Or someone has told me I need a WiFi access point added?

As a test do you have line of sight between the rooms ie. from door to door?
If so, position router in doorway then try the wifi in the other room - first with line of sight to the router then moving out of sight. If your signal is better in line of sight then your walls may be blocking the signal.
