Hi,

I see there is a new thing out that will replace your router and help with
spreading your wifi signal better around your house it is  called a eero.

www.eero.com

I see the configuration is done with an ios or android app. I wonder if
anyone has used this or if they know if the app is accessible?

Thanks for any help.

For that size of an investment to cover your entire house, it had better be accessible. I have a large house that is not Wy-Fy friendly, so I pay an extra $10 per month to Comcast and have a second network within my house. Once configured on all of your devices, they switch automatically from one net work to the other as I move around the house. I don't often have an extra $ 500 to spend to upgrade my internet network at one time.

Can't you  just use a power line adaptor?

Not in my case, I have tried them and they just do not work. The manner in which my old house is constructed interupts the transfer of the Wy-Fy signal throughout the house.  Every wwall in my house is of standard 2 by 4 construction, and I have 1 by 6 center match covering both sides of each wall withinsulation between this, and dry wall or paneling on the exterior of all of this. This dense, solid construction stopps the transfer ofmost anything that tries to pass through it. I probably have one of the quietest houses that exists, each room is virtually sound proof when the door is closed.

Hi,

I was thinking that same thing. The geek in me wants to by it to play with
it but I did spend quite a bit on my new router as I am building a home
network.

Hi,

That would solve part of his problem and he could save some money if he got
another router used the power line adapter then put the second router in
bridge mode.

It's worth noting the $500 is only to buy a few of the devices. I think a
single router is only $250, but for $250 you can buy a very powerful router
that can do more than this brand. I personally don't mind logging into the
UI with a browser on my PC. LifeHacker had a very good review recently. I'm
sure you'll be able to find the article running a search on their site.
