universal wifi range extender in a rental house
I am renting a house for 2 months and the internet (CenturyLink) works most of the time, but if I try to play Netflix, it keeps cutting out. I have purchased a Universal wifi range extender, but hav...
Does it keep cutting out because you are losing the Wi-Fi connection, or because the connection speed is not sufficient to support Netflix ?
If its the latter a Wi-Fi extender will not solve your problems.
If the Wi-Fi signal keeps cutting out a powerline based Wi-Fi extender could potentially provide a stronger Wi-Fi signal, but if you have purchased an extender that takes your current Wi-Fi signal and extends it you may still experience exactly the same problem.
Thanks for your reply. Netflix keeps cutting out because the signal by the TV is weak. However, very occasionally, the internet connection is completely lost and the router has to be reset. So it seems like the range extender will help with the Netflix problem. Is that correct? Also, should the internet connection be lost, after I have rebooted the router, what will I need to do to the range extender?
