Expanding My Home Network
Introduction
My home is equipped with an internet connection from my ISP. It uses one router that emits wi-fi signal. It transmitted at least 5 devices. However, the signal coverage is not optimal. There are some areas that are not covered by the wi-fi signal. Therefore, I decided to expand my network so that these unreachable areas can enjoy internet connection. To do this, I need to set up a new route.
Objective(s)
- Expand home network so that more areas in my house is covered by the wi-fi signal.
