9. Gotta second a repeater suggestion

Fri Jul 27, 2018, 07:40 PM

Jul 2018

I had trouble with my new 5g TV picking up my WIFI signal from the back bedroom to the main one on the other side of the house. Constantly lost signal, had to reset, and often just not getting anything. Tried all sorts of adjustments on the router, but got a repeater to plug into a regular electrical outlet and NO problems.

This is the one I got, dirt easy to install
