Move WiFi to another room, no antenna socket?

Hello,

I want to move my Wi-Fi router from the living room to another room because of connection issues. The problem is that I only have the special outlet for connecting the antenna cable in the living room. Does anyone know a solution to this problem?

There are two very thick walls between the living room and other rooms and I think these are disrupting the connection, so I want to move it.

Thanks in advance.

Option 1 – New cable in the wall

Option 2 – PowerLan, you see a transmitter that feeds your network into your power grid. In another room, you can easily plug a corresponding receiver into the socket and then either plug in a PC via network cable or this plug is also available with WLAN, then you have a second “WLAN router” to improve your WLAN signal.

Simple repeaters for amplifying the signal are usually very good and also have to be positioned relative to the actual router so that they still have enough power/signal strength to amplify the signal.

At Powerlan, you have the “full” performance while Wi-Fi, which is nothing but if you put a cable in the neighboring room to which you connect a second WLAN router. However, when you have an old house (30+ years), it can be that you have bad cards or have a strong loss as to the transfer via the power grid, it should be here for larger distances or if you have many thick walls or stubborn objects in the way, still be better than if you use a repeater, since this is in the reach of your main router, so do not need to amplify the Powerlan.

Powerlan only means that the network signals are modulated onto the normal current line. Depending on the cabling, this can work well, but often the transmission rates are rather lukewarm. Especially when an electrical device interferes with the line, the transmission rates break in. If you seriously consider DLAN (Powerlan), buy the adapters best where you can return them quickly and easily if it does not work enough. To proceed, you plug a DLAN adapter into the socket next to your router and connect a LAN port of your router to the adapter via network cable. Where you need a network anachlus, e.g. in your room, you put another adapter in the socket. There are DLAN adapters that can also emit the network signal via WLAN. If you have one, you need nothing in your room, but connect Your devices then either via the LAN socket of the adapter or via the WLAN, which it emits.

you have to try, powerlan is a good thing, how good or bad it works. This depends heavily on your power wiring and the devices in your power grid.

We checked a 20m connection cable. It’s nice to come together over footboards in and around 4 doors. But now we also have good W-LAN reception at the bottom of the garden.

Then you will have to transfer an extension cable from the can to the router. We had a floor.

We had absolutely no influence. We have w-lan repeaters now, and they also work perfectly. If the internet is good in itself.

No, it doesn’t matter on short distances. And you can also connect network cables to a distance of approx. 100m length without a signal amplifier having to be switched in between.

How about you just add a WLAN repeater? Then there’s no need to move. Simply put the repeater in your room in the socket and ready!

You don’t have to configure anything for Fritz boxes.

Accespoint, Repeater, D-LAN would be my first approaches

Wi-Fi cable is very, very expensive.

Ne good drilling machine and 16 holes solve this problem…
