Re: Wi-Fi Range & Bandwidth
50ft shouldn't be an issue unless there's obstructions in the way. As well as what those obstructions are. Certain materials like plaster lathe, brick, adobe, concrete/cement, metal, foil lined insulation all block wifi extremely well.
so anything in the way?
Also, are you using 2.4ghz or 5ghz?
2.4ghz is much slower and sensitive to interference.
what modem/gateway do you have?
What firmware is on the router?
There certainly are extenders out there but figuring out the root cause if the issue is key.
If you do decide to go with an extender, I'd recommend a tri-band extender. Standard single/dual band extenders take a 50% speed hit. The tribands don't because they have a dedicated 5ghz backhaul connection for just router---extender communication.
