My wireless devices connect well and with a strong WiFi signal when I am near the router but as we go to rooms further away from the router, the signal gets weaker until the point where we have no WiFi.
WiFi uses radio signals. The power of a received radio signal drops as the receiver is moved further from the transmitter. This is physics, and can't be changed.
Do you have a question?
Considering the fact that we have wifi to gain wireless access to the internet from various places in our homes, the question is, how do we improve the signal? With Optimum, we didn't have this problem but now with Verizon, we do. Does anyone know if the Verizon has inferior equipment?
The current Actiontec router isn't famous for great wifi coverage.
My solution was to install a second router/wifi adapter in another part of our house. I feed the second device via coax that was already running to the other room and a MoCA adapter.
If you have coax for a TV running to another part of your house, you could use an Actiontec ECB2500 to feed a second router or wireless-access-point, which should give you solid coverage at that part of the house.
You can always try a device like this:
I placed this in our home on the other side of the house and now my daughter never complains about wifi problems.
It will extend the wifi with a different ssid for example I use home this device uses home_xt
It plugs into an outlet and requires no wires. Works great for us, no issues been using it for a month
I currently am experiencing the same problem with the WiFi in my home. I have a netgear wireless range extender but the connection drops frequently and I am thinking to buy an Actiontec fios router on ebay, it can work as an MoCA bridge and save you some money. Here's a link to some information on thisEthernet via Coax.
