Thank you, Pete.
I ordered today a fairly expensive cable modem/router (made by Motorola). I will try it on Thursday/Friday.
I wonder, if this router does not provide sufficient coverage, if I can buy the mesh extender for upstairs and see how it help.
The Motorola router has a wider area it is supposed to cover (at least in the spec). So, I will see how it works.
Again, thank you.
