Question by Xcalith: Wifi Extender or N-Router?
I’m having a dilemma if I should buy a G wifi extender or buy a new N router. Basically, the two devices have almost the same price but the N router will enable me to have a more updated network with faster speeds.
The dead spot in our house is the second floor. The router’s located and fixed at the first floor. The wifi signal does reach the second floor but it’s very weak because of the distance and the walls the signal may travel through. If we were to put the extender, it would be located in the middle of the strong and weak signals. On the other hand, if we would buy a new router, it would be situated right were the router currently is.
So which might be a better buy? I’m not 100% sure that an N router would reach it since I’ve never used it before but the signal does travel to the second floor, it’s just weak which means it might work.
This is the extender that I’ve been taking about:

I’d suggest going with the wireless extender – the router would simply replace the wireless router you have and not make the signal any stronger, it would just give it a faster connection.
