So I finally got fed up with having to deal with all the bottlenecking factors that come with using a laptop for anything requiring slightly moderate processing power. Because of this, I am building a nice pc rig for gaming and 3d modeling and the likes. However, the room I have moved in to has no local ports for an ethernet connection, so LAN is off the table.
> mfw I will still have to deal with wifi gaming bullshit
Anyways, I am going to have to get by with plugging in a wifi adapter to the pc so I can use the wifi signal. I posted the Ookla benchmark for my routers signal here, which doesn't seem bad to begin with.

What a fucking ramble. We didn't need practically any of the information you provided in the OP.

WiFi access points? Get a router which supports DD-WRT and you can configure it to your heart's content. Or you can try powerline adapters.

However, with the room I am in being upstairs, and with multiple people on the same signal at once, ping spikes are all too frequent and general connection tends to wither all too much for optimal gaming connections. Because of this, I am thinking of investing in a wireless access point to place in my room to broadcast the wifi signal from upstairs to increase its strength. Anybody have experience with access points, and if so, how well would this work to provide a decent signal from the upstairs room?

Feel like the router is fine though, its just that its connection range suffers in rooms upstairs

You would configure the second router to serve as the wireless access point...

I feel like you're KenM'ing me.

Not going to lie I'm pretty fucking autistic when it comes to tech shit I just recently began the whole pc building shit.
To get an idea, I've been using a macbook for the past few years so I am borderline retarded

>>55176320
Regardless, what would be a good router that doesn't require LAN wiring?
I feel so fucking dumb

bumping this for my autism

Power line adapters.

Powerline adapters for ethernet ports? those provide really shitty MbPs rates

OP here. Basically the only thing I am asking is how to I strengthen the signal of a router that provides a strong bandwidth connection but has a pretty bad range. Is something like this access point a good idea?
