WiFi Range Extender

My husband's TV is at the far end of the house away from our router. He only receives the WiFi signal on an intermittent basis. This affects his watching YouTube which he really enjoys. I finally decided to order a WiFi Range Extender. I ordered the Netgear Nighthawk EX7000 AC1900. It's able to handle a greater distance and at faster speeds. It should be delivered within the next few days; and I hope that I will be able to set it up without a problem. Usually Best Buy delivers the next day; but this item is on delay. UPDATE: Netgear gives support for the first 90 days, so they will be able to help me if I get stuck. Have you purchased any new electronic items lately? Photo Credit: Best Buy website

We bought a device that you plug and you can use a cable instead than using WiFi. My husband is sensible to electromagnetic fields, our WiFi is turned off.

@LindaOHio The "Devolo" plugs work really well, we have more than one at each floor.

I have similar product at home and it works well. As to my dad's home, he bought an expensive router and it can transfer singal in a further distance and therefore he doesn't need the wifi range extender. I think it works even better than wifi range extender.

I bought a small circuit board to use the functional monitor of a defective laptop as an auxiliary monitor for my current laptop. It's a sort of an interface between the monitor and my laptop's HDMI port.

It's all above my head. I'm only marginally technology savvy!

@LindaOHio But I am also merely marginally technology savvy (alliterations anyone?).
