Hello my friends,
My name is Terk, I'm 89 years old and trying to learn about wireless routers for my home.
Here is my set up, I have a 2 story home. We have Comcast internet/phone and use their modem for this. The modem is hard wired upstairs. It sends off wireless signals thru out the house. Signals downstairs seem to be slower.
A neighbor in our community suggested a wireless router.
I looked online at them and it seems that you connect them to the modem directly? I was thinking about buying something like this, DAP-2553 AirPremier N Dual Band PoE Access Point , if it would help increase the signals in the home.
I'm still very confused by them and wondered if someone here could explain them in old man terminology and then, if this type of device is exactly what I need, perhaps walk me thru all the install and set up.
Lastly, if you have suggestions for something else, please, please let me know. We tried a wifi extender but that wasn't much help.
I should also mention, the modem has to be connected upstairs. It's my wife's home office. Thank you, Terk
