Hello all! I am having some trouble with my Wi-fi and have tried looking it up but am a little overwhelmed and am hoping someone who knows more about it can help me.
I live in a small mother-in-law house attached to the side of the main house. I think 3 or 4 people live in the main house, and 3 of us including myself in the small side unit. We all share the same internet and as a result, i think it is pitifully slow. In addition to that, i am often losing connection completely. So i'm dealing with either no internet connection at all, or when it is able to connect, it is very slow. Netflix will have to stop and load what im watching every few minutes...
The main setup (router?) is in the main house, and we have a wifi extender in our side unit, but I dont think it reaches my room in the back very well. In fact, my housemates often complain about their internet being crappy too despite being closer to the extender.
So what can I do here? Would another wifi extender help if i put one in my room? I looked into the mesh things too but those seem more expensive and i'm attending college right now lol, so budget is an issue also.
Would installing a second router on the same network in our side unit be an option? Does that affect the price of our internet plan?
Obviously I dont really know what im doing here lol. Would really appreciate any insight!
