Wireless setup problem.

Hello, I am soon to be moving house and we need an upgrade to our wireless solution. We are currently using the provided router from our broadband provider and when we move I want a much better solution than what is given, but unfortunately I am not very intelligible in the Networking field, I mainly play games and build computers :3. Where we are moving, The only place the router will be able to be positioned is in the attic, which is convenient as I'm going to put my office there but I don't think it will be good for my family as the range will most likely not reach everywhere else in the house. I was looking at the video uploaded today about the access point, and I was wondering what kind of technology I should use.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should purchase and how I should set it up?

Thanks,

George

 Hey George,

 

Is the router provided a modem as well? is it one of those 2 in 1 router/modems that the provider has given you?

if you have the money use a linksys wrt 1900ac and run it downstairs you can most likely run a eathernet cable through the walls. or just pay someone to do it if you have the money. wireless access points also work
