Hi Forum!

 

I recently built a gaming computer which I have been very satisfied with, although I experience lag due to my routers positioning. Currently my router is in our basement (which is very dumb I know) but I'm unable to move it because of many reasons regarding my brother and father. Right now I play upstairs. So my question is, what would a better buy be to improve my lag, a wireless repeater or another router? If i was able to put a repeater or router on the first floor, which one would improve my situation? I hope its clear that moving my first router out of the basement is not an option.

get another router with better wifi and put it closer to ur room ?. or just buy 40feet of ethernet cable and run it downstairs ?
