If you have your own router and everywhere in your house has a good signal to that router it works but again that isn't always the case. 

If u buy a cheap router ( Or Razer) you get cheap WiFi. Never had a problem with range or connectivity with Netgear.

Yeah I had a nice netgear but a thick brick wall don't give af. You have to understand that it was a fireplace so it was extra thick.

See if you can get a repeater probably. One of these days with the trends you’ll end up like me with WiFi only devices.

I did get a repeater. Didn't fix the problem. I tried for about 3 months to get wifi to work but ended up just using a powerline adapter to run Ethernet to my computer. Fixed all of my issues.

Nice source @rcmaehl . Most of it went over my head but I've saved it to look deeper into it later on. It sounds like the vulnerability that has been known in part since 2017. Google's Project Zero team, it's amazing how these vulnerabilities are discovered and then the understanding of it grows over time through many people's input and research. Fascinating.
