Working in a two floor house a little bit away from the wifi router. Getting very bad connection in other areas of the house. Is there a booster / anything to buy to get better connection or help when there are multiple zoom calls in the house at once?

I live in a 2 bed apt, so signal strength wasn't bad. I bought a mesh router and it is night and day. You can use the satellite near your work PC and connect via ethernet cable. I bought the Orbi on Costco, but there are plenty of options with different price ranges.

Could get a repeater and a better router if that's the problem.

Is the house owned? Can just drop a cable.

Fios has boosters you can add in.

We use a google home mesh

Yep there are amazon boosters that you plug into the wall and connect to your existing WiFi network.

Network extenders work great

Asus ac 53000, you can thank me later

Just get amplifi

First, make sure that you have a modem that supports the download speeds you’re paying for with your internet plan. If you’re buying 500mbps, ensure your device at least reaches that level.

Second, like most others said, mesh is the way to go. I use Nest with 2 points for ~5000sqft and it’s blazing fast in every corner. Eero is also good. Check out Wirecutter - they do the best product recommendations.

Orbi

Make sure the router is a 5G as opposed to 2.4. Make sure the router can support the speed you’re paying for. And finally... mesh 😅

Orbi wifi6 mesh ....

If I buy the Nest Wifi system do I need to do anything else? Or just buy and switch the router

I would also put the cable modem into bridge mode so you don’t have 2 firewalls and double NAT going on. Simple flag in the modem configuration.

like

Reuse an old router with a wired backhaul. Make sure to use single NATting so minimal drop in speeds. You may choose same or different SSID, just ensure to choose non overlapping channels. (1/6/11)
