Traditionally, the best solution is to put an access point in several spots to provide coverage. Normally that requires ethernet cabling to be in place. Another solution is to use the electrical cabling in your house to carry the packets to other rooms, where you connect other repeaters. That can work, but not always. If you can't run cables, and there the ethernet over power solutions don't work, then mesh networks like has been discussed in this thread are very good. They are more expensive, but prices have come down a lot in the last year or so.

Hi,

 

Does anybody have anything good to say about devices to extent wifi range in a house.  The students sitting on the couch side by side taking on line courses is not going to work!
