Router or extender
I have a ATT modem, the signal coming from it is not strong enough to reach from the bedroom into our living room which I'd maybe 50 ft and has two walls to go through..do I need to buy a router or a extender to use with our wireless iPads and laptops we have all Mac . If so could you tell me brand or type of what I need and the difficulty setting it up.
If the WiFi signal is blocked the first consideration is placement in a more central location with fewer to no structural or radio signal interferences. If that isn't possible, then using an extender, repeater, or booster is, perhaps, the next best solution. However, not all devices are dual band, so choose one that meets the bandwidth on the router's WiFi network.
