re: Best way of extending wifi to backyard?

Currently have a Archer C5 router that is located in the front of the house. Does great in rooms near the front...but in the back of the house the signal begins to fade (but still can get a connection).

The backyard, however, rarely gets a connection...especially if the back door is shut.

Looking for the best way to extend my wifi to the backyard. Moving the router is not an option as the only hookup is located in the front room. Don't want to drop $300 for a mesh system cause I feel it would be overkill for a 1300 sq ft. home.

I would just get an extender and plug it into the rear of the house but I hear it just makes the signal crap.

Depending on your modem, you may be able to use MOCA. I just realized that the cable/voice modem provided by xfinity has MOCA capabilities, so I ordered a MOCA router. Its coming in today.
