some people are complaining about wifi signal strength around the home
the problem is basically older houses and some new ones are Faraday Cages no matter how much power you put out it wont work
to help sort some of the problems
Try different channels
place the router at different locations around the house
wires around the wifi sap signal keep it neat
boosters are all well and good but if you cant get the signal in and out they are pointless
but are good for them outside logging on to your unsecured network
sometimes you just have to accept it wont work
