Go for 2 Ubiquiti Unifi access points. They're $70 a piece and can uplink with one another wirelessly. You'll have 2 full access points for devices on each floor, without worrying about all the issues that you usually see with extenders.

i'm a complete idiot on repeaters..but conceptually is there an app or way you could turn "repeaters" on for every device on your network?

in other words; i got ipads and phones and PCs and shite all around my house using one router way downstairs.

is there a product that..say..could run as a background process on each of these devices to help boost/repeat the signal around the house?

i know..probably stupid question..but does something like that exist?


seems like a way to take advantage of your existing PC computing power rather than buy dedicated hardware doo-dads.

Can you provide some specific model numbers, I'd like to check them out.
