Extend WIFI Coverage

Hi Community

I have the Nighthawk R8000 plugged into my study which is on one side of my house and as I get towards the far side of my house I lose WIFI coverage almost completely.  What is the best way to get an extender on the other side of my house that I am able to simply plug into electric (i.e. I cannot put an ethernet cable around the house for this).

Thanks.

Re: Extend WIFI Coverage

you could use a wifi extender, you could use a powerline device with built in wifi, or you could even use a moca adapter (ethernet over coax). 

Several different options for you.

Re: Extend WIFI Coverage

Those are all pretty expensive solutions when I already have a pretty expensive router!  Would your EX6250 do the job, but with a little less performance??

Are there any others lower in your range that would also do the job.

Re: Extend WIFI Coverage

the models I have listed are just my signature. They're not recommendations. 

You have multiple options that you can try. I just listed extenders, powerline, or moca adapters.

 

The ex6250 might work fine for you.
