Have a technician question:

The following 3 floors house basement on the ground floor and on the top floor there's the Wi-Fi router and upstairs we hardly have any Internet times there's a bar because at most 2 then it disappeared.

Got a cheap Wi-Fi repeater set up you can even use it to connect the computer with a LAN cable but in vain the computer takes forever to load a page and if someone is still sitting on the computer you can also forget Netflix above my question is you have an idea as I could otherwise do that it also runs perfectly with the Internet above without having to put the router up or create a new connection.

Buy the Powerline adapter:

TP-Link TL-PA7010 KIT Powerline Adapter (1000Mbps (2-Ports) Powerline, Without socket, 1x Gigabit Port, Plug & Play, energy saving, compatible with all common Powerline adapters) white https://www.amazon.de/...01NARHG7X/

Then you can get the full Internet performance and can also use LAN

I have one myself and my internet is 40x faster

You should know that Wi-Fi antennas only emit radio waves with their long sides. On the other hand, in the direction in which the antenna tip (s) show antennas almost nothing. It's called polarization.

In your case, this means that if the routers and repeaters as well as the WLAN receivers of the devices are set up or plugged in normally, the vertical antennas hardly radiate upwards into the upper floor or hardly downwards into the basement.

Suggestion, you could align the location of all antennas (router, repeater and Wi-Fi receiver where possible) horizontally. Set up / lay down the entire router, depending on the design. Align socket Wi-Fi repeaters easily with short 230 V ~ extension cables or multiple power strips (not recommended for Powerline / dLAN, but recommended for Wi-Fi repeaters).

And additionally align the antenna tips ALL in the same direction (e.g. All to the west), then the WLAN transmitter and the WLAN receiver will also run better signal strength.

Experience has shown that the difference is almost a factor of 3 between "good" and "wrong" polarization.

PS:

Routers and repeaters should NOT send on the same channel! If necessary, set fixed channels in the router and repeater (on the configuration page in the browser).

Good 36 GHz ac channels (without DFS) are channels 36, 40, 44 and 48.

Good 2.4 GHz (overlap-free) n channels are 1, 6 and 11 (do not select intermediate channels!)

Find good places in the house for repeaters that still have decent reception from the router.

This free Android app Fritz App WLAN can be very useful.

40x faster than what? If it is as fast as in the contract, I'm satisfied.

Yes.

As soon as stated in the contract
