So I moved into a big house that was built in the 1930s and thus has a lot of brick construction, which is interfering with both my wifi and cell connections. The Verizon FIOS router that I have doesn't really penetrate into the bedroom - when I go to the bedroom, my devices still think that I have a decent connection, but the connection in truth is intermittent.
I've solved this somewhat by placing a powerline adapter in the bedroom, but this requires that I when I move from my living room to my bedroom I have to go into my wi-fi settings and switch to the new network manually. Using WPS to get the adapter to use the same SSID as the router seems to lead to the same problem - my devices don't seem to know that they shold transition to using the powerline adapter.
Getting quite frustrated by the need to switch wifi networks continually. Am thinking I should invest in a good wireless router with serious range capabilities - would that work and do people have any specific recommendations for a router? Or any other solutions?
