I've got a two story house and our router is located downstairs at one end of the house. Signal strength upstairs at the opposite end of the house isn't too hot and I've been given orders by SWMBO to get it sorted.We do have an unused LAN cable running from the router to one of the rooms that has the low Wifi signal, and I was wondering if it's possible to get a device that can plug into the LAN cable (which in turn plugs into a switch which is connected to the router) that can broadcast a signal for that end of the house? So not exactly boosting the Wifi signal but converting wired to wireless?If so then how does this integrate in with the existing Wifi? (I.e. is it an extension of the existing one or a new one with its own SSID, etc?)Failing this maybe a Wifi booster would help, but how do they work?The router is a Vodafone Home Gateway model HG556a if that matters.
