I plan to relocate the modem tomorrow from the living room to my bedroom so I can finally connect my gaming PC to Ethernet without interference from Wi-Fi. However, I’m facing some issues right now. Our home is large, and the basement is enormous, which means coverage gaps will likely appear in those areas. I currently have a basic Netgear router linked to the Comcast modem without any antennas. I reside in my uncle’s house because I don’t mind missing coverage elsewhere. But my uncle watches TV and streams movies downstairs, so I need reliable signals there too. Right now, cost isn’t an issue. What suggestions do you have? Should I consider range extenders or get a new router? But since the new router would connect to the modem and the modem stays in my room, it feels like I’m stuck.
You're asking about the meaning of "few routers" and how to use switches instead of modems. It seems you want to understand the setup and connection methods.
Of course money isn't an issue, but I'm stuck in my own home. He finally chose to install the modem after he took it back to the living room last time—no wonder he lost all the coverage upstairs. He said today I can get it back, but with one condition: I need to secure coverage downstairs and throughout the house.
A superior router usually doesn't boost signal reach. Most routers function at the highest power level permitted by the FCC. A higher-performing router might offer quicker speeds and a steadier link in regions where you already have coverage. The optimal method to extend signal to new areas is through access points. You can either physically connect them or implement a mesh network. The drawback of mesh systems is they can strain a busy Wi-Fi space and may cause intermittent drops. They also introduce some delay.
Explore mesh Wi-Fi solutions, they can swap your existing router and deliver the necessary coverage at a reasonable cost. https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Elec...7935294011
