maybe you should stop being poor and buy a house and run your own gigabit lines

That would be awesome, unfortunately probably not going to be able to buy a house for a little while. Just graduated last May

From KU, right?

Pay alexander open systems to come out and do a wireless site survey. Might cost a lot of money.

Get a couple of these, they work great.

Old houses with plaster walls really weaken the wireless signal. You can add another wireless router in your room.

on the bold assumption you have a smartphone, try downloading a Wi-Fi signal strength app like WI-FI Analyzer. It has a channel rating mode that may show a change in the channel your Wi-Fi uses could improve your signal.

This spacious 50 year-old house sounds very luxurious.

I use an airport/express setup. Implementations aren't standardized so you're locked into a vendor. I believe linksys has a pretty solid solution. Good luck.

I think what you'd really want is a repeater. Adding another modem w/wireless router would work but a repeater should do that same job and and extend the range. That, or just get a better wireless router.

Thank you, kind sir.

At least it's a four year degree, unlike most of those JCCC fucks.

You probably shouldn't buy an extender. The first thing you should try is moving your router to a central location in your house, if possible. Better placement may solve all your problems. If that doesn't work and the router you have is a few years old, I recommend getting a new one like the ASUS RT-N56u or the ASUS RT-N66u, our top picks. I'll explain why, and lay out all the alternatives to a wireless extender that I think will work better for you.

I use an airport extreme as my router then have a time machine upstairs that expands the signal and backs up everything. It works great and all I had to do was turn them both on, set a password and everything worked itself out. It was pretty great.
