I just moved into a house where the wifi that originates from a modem/router in the kitchen on an upper level doesn't reach my home office on a lower level. There is also an xbox and an apple TV on that lower level, so I'd like to have pretty good signal.
I'm trying to decide between:
Option 1 - getting an extender that I can plug into the wall at a point roughly halfway in between (e.g. http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-N300-Wireless-Range-Extender/dp/B008BGYJSE/ref=sr_1_43?ie=UTF8&qid=1411146610&sr=8-43&keywords=wifi+extender ) and extend the range of the signal
Option 2 - getting a powerline adapter system ( e.g. http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-PA511-Powerline-Starter-Kit/dp/B0081FLFQE/ref=sr_1_57?ie=UTF8&qid=1411146798&sr=8-57&keywords=wifi+extender ) that I can hook up all the way down in the lower level and hardwire my desktop into and also plug in a separate router and create another wifi network for the lower level.
Any thoughts? Appreciate it.
