Thank you so much to all who contributed assistance for my internet issue.

Great news,
I meant to correct an earlier post regarding AP. A wireless bridge could also be used It receives or connects to your router and uses a data cable to connect devices which do not support WIFI. It can be located in a location with good signal and then run a cable to the device.
Extenders or repeaters can be a pain in the a$$ when streaming video.

Which is one reason why I usually suggest the simpler, and sometimes cheaper, Powerline alternative.
I have fought with wifi on smart devices and it stinks.
It is a pity that Powerline is still relatively unknown, and that earlier implementations put off many people.
I am using a Netgear Dual Band WiFi extender, it has been working like a dream. I binged on Netflix last night!
