What's the best way to extend wifi range?
Would it be a better router, extender, wifi adapter, or access point?
In order to save money, I cut the cord and got a Android streaming TV device for my TV but it wouldn't stream so I needed to move the router and modem from my office to near the TV to get it to stream TV programs. But, when I did that, now the desktop in the office can't connect to the internet.
The problem is that this is a large house and the office and TV downstairs are on opposite ends of the house. So, I got a new, upgraded router with the ASUS RT-AC68U.
But, the wifi range with this new router still wasn't strong enough.
Out of those four options in the title, what's the best solution? Ideally, I'd like something that would extend the wifi range long enough, be easy to set up, and not be too expensive.
I was looking into setting up a new access point with the old router, but my SO would not be too happy if we had this long cable from one end of the house to the other connecting the new and old router.
