wifi extender
quick question,
My son is running the ethernet cable from the RBK40, from the living room to the computer in his room. The cable is very annyoning stretching throughout the house.
what is my best option for a wireless extender so he can just have it on his desk, and plug it in there.
Thank you

You could just add another satellite that he can hardwire into.
Or put one of the satellites in his room

i will look into that, the other satellite is in the garage so the internet works well out there

If you decide to add a satellite, lately amazon has been selling the RBS40V for around $100 and it has an integrated speaker/alexa. (don't have to use). Its pretty much the cheapest satellite you can find .
Not sure how far away the room is but he might appreciate having a speaker to play music with.
