Hey! I understand your situation. You have two routers and three WiFi networks. Router1 has one, router2 has two. Your dad is worried about the signal strength in your room, especially with a $5 router. He wants to know why his WiFi won’t get worse if you set router2 as the access point.

You can explain that using a 2.4 GHz band for the AP and 5 GHz for regular networks helps maintain good coverage without interference. Also, having two networks instead of one gives more flexibility in managing signal strength and bandwidth. Just make sure to configure your routers properly so the AP works well for streaming TV from your PC.

The optimal solution is likely to include separate entry points—one upstairs and one downstairs—each using distinct Wi-Fi networks with unique SSIDs. This setup should prevent any connectivity problems.
