I have a Converge router on the 2nd floor. Problem is, it's wifi signal is so weak that my Android TV box downstairs keeps losing wifi signal. I temporarily set up my cdrking router as an ethernet bridge to get streaming working on my TV. I need a more permanent solution to get stronger wifi signal downstairs (not just for the tv) that doesn't involve running cat5 cable around the house or through the walls.

Powerline networking?
Dont know if locally available nga lang.

Nothing interesting anymore that you can't find in either Lazada or Shopee, mas mura pa. Miss their bang-for-the-buck Tomato routers.

I found a 1Gbps and 200Mbps Tenda in Lazada and tplink in Shopee. Mas mura Tenda.

Will powerline extenders work kung separate ang circuit breaker ng linya sa 2nd floor at ground floor? Same main breaker pa rin naman sila.

Also, instead of buying repeaters or extenders try upgrading your main router with a better a one that gives long range signal... i remember when we upgrade to pldt fiber they provide much better router compared to their pldt mydsl, we dont need repeater to our 2nd floor... hope it helps...

Upgrading the router does seem to be the more cost effective option as I'm browsing wireless and powerline extenders.

Not really sure. Could be a problem though if it is separated by a breaker. Try it tapos benta mo na lang pag di gumana. Heheheh

Oo dapat same circuit breaker. Security feature yan, otherwise pwede pasukin network mo.

Agree ako sa suggestion na upgrade mo na lang router mo, then use the old one as an extra access point.

Just use a wifi mesh device like the tenda mw3 or tenda mw6.

Paano sir gawin ang luma na extra access point? I have an old linksys nung hindi pa uso na naka bundle ang wifi router sa provider.
