I agree with Jar. Don't get a repeater/booster if you can avoid it. It extends the signal, but you cut your speed in half.

A Google mesh router system is what jar, madwi, and myself use. I run 4 in my house and get full signal from the front porch all the way out to the detached garage, 2nd story, and down the block.

Thanks Lein. I do hate supporting google, they already know my every digital move... but conversely, they already know my every digital move.

I'm using an eero system from Amazon, I've got 3 devices that cover my house pretty good. It was a little cheaper than the Google mesh system, but was highly recommended by my IT son-in-law.

Nothing worse than when those porn movies continue to buffer. So I've heard.

Exactly! You've gone to the effort of planning a romantic evening with you and your best hand, and the next thing you know, buffering!

The google mesh routers work great. Set and forget.

Eero, unify or any other mesh router setup will do just as well as Google. Most others have fairly robust configurations compared to Google as well. But the Google ones are a very solid set and forget type. No technical knowledge really needed.

Grabbed a new set of hatch struts for the car and some pcv hoses to replace the OEM ones that are starting to fade.
