I have an Arris TG3482 modem that is working great right now but it only gives me 2 bars in the detached garage and sometimes drops out. I also have a defender security system in the garage that I want to plug into a router (or repeater or whatever). So my goals are to - increase the wifi signal in the garage and to have something to connect the security system to the internet. I am not a tech guru with this stuff but would like to know what you guys think is the best way for me to make this work. I was thinking of just buying a new router and putting that in the garage but I am not sure if this will work. The router is a D-Link DIR-1950.
OK so now I am thinking this might work the best.... Netgear EX7000 wifi mesh range extender. It looks like I can plug the security system into it and since I have 2 bars on my phone when connected to my network, this should boost that signal as well. I forgot to mention that I can't run cables and the garage is detached from the house.
What do you guys think???
