After due consideration and a not so happy wife, I decided that I need my 'man cave'. I have a little room at the back of my house that I want to convert into a place where I can chill, browse the net, tinker on my e-ciggies and fart in peace.
The problem is my wifi is so p*ss poor there. I currently have my router in the front of the house and a unifi router towards the back of the house ( I ran some cable when I built on) and I do not want to move it as it will cut down signal to the middle section and the garden.
I swear there are layers of lead paint on our walls (It is an older house).
Now if I stand at the door the signal from the unfi router (the one that looks like a flying saucer) is at full strength but where I need to position my pc I drop down to 1 bar. Not acceptable if I want to surf for man things or do some gaming.
My pc does not have a wifi and was thinking of running some cable and putting another router there to pick up the signal off the flying saucer. I also cannot access the ceiling as our house has a flat roof (it gets blerry hot in summer). I do not want to rip out the ceiling boards to install cable and would prefer not to run another cable along the walls from the front of the house to the back (The missus will blow a gasket if I touch her walls .... again).
Irritating as I connect to my wifi almost a block away from home yet struggle inside the blasted house.
Will this be possible? What other alternatives do I have?
