John Cena Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Personally I would get a huge lead, those wifi repeaters aren't that great as they sound, they also become very hot afer a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackthedon Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 3. No 4. Never I'd either use the mains like honey suggested, drill through the floor or just use a long cable tucked away along the wall. I've used a 100m Cat 7 before and it wasn't that bad at all. Definitely better than any wifi repeater/extender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep this will probably be the easiest solution and better than shitty wifi. But if you are planning on staying long in your new office, you are better off fixing that cable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connectivity is full its ping that's degraded not sure if a repeater will fix the issue as it will still be a long distance from the hub 1 hour ago, Jackthedon said: 3. No 4.

Hi G00gle Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Might want to look into WiFi extenders. You can also buy a WiFi extender (PPPoE = Power-Point Protocol over Ethernet) which also has a option to plug in a cable. For example: https://www.tp-link.com/nl/products/details/cat-18_TL-WPA4220T-KIT.html (Might be dutch, but you can also search for TP-Link TL-WPA4220T KIT in your own country).

It will send the connection through the power lines in your house. Your ping won't be affected that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duhstin Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Don't drill up into bedroom, instead drill from office -> bedroom, then drill a hole in wall and drop your ethernet cord down the wall towards your router, then drill a hole in the water where the hub is and fish the ethernet cord out. Then just add a wall plate. Shouldn't be hard as long as there isn't a fire block in the wall. Use a stud finder to find out before you start drilling.
