If you are person who took the room at the back of the house, furthest away from the Wi-Fi router you will probably be familiar with getting no or patchy Wi-Fi. This is of course very frustrating and can really hamper your studying not to mention entertainment. There are solutions of course, we will go through the 3 most common solutions.
1. Wi-Fi extenders – these pick up the current Wi-Fi and usually rebroadcast on a new name – these have mixed results and while you may get better coverage find the speed is poor or there is interference so not great.
2. Ethernet cables. You may resort to laying a LAN Cat 6 / ethernet cable from the router to your room or if you are lucky, the landlord may have already done it. This will give you the best results but if the cable running along the corridor, it will be ugly and maybe tripped on so not ideal either, unless of course it is all properly wired in with sockets on the wall.
3. Probably the best solution of all is a MESH Wi-Fi where the same name is broadcast throughout the house and has one or two repeaters to give complete coverage – a mesh system uses the same name so you can seamlessly move from one hotspot to another and should not be interfering but complementing the other hotspots. These hotspots maybe picking up their signal by repeating from the router signal or be hard wired with ethernet but are definitely the best option. So when you are looking for houses, look out for house with MESH Wi-Fi and consider the speeds available too. 100Mbps service will give good results but for awesome experiences for shared houses try 200Mbps broadband with MESH and ethernet connections.
