  • There’s these little wifi extenders that you can plug into an outlet on the main floor. They’re a dime a dozen in the big cloud stores. Find a first floor location spatially about half way between the 2nd floor wifi router and the basement spot you’d prefer to work, and plug it in and get it connected to the main wifi.

    Whatever you find, try and match it to the main router’s wifi standards and bands. Or get even higher-rated repeater for longer term compatibility with upgraded main routers.



    1. Cat5e and up does 1000 Mbit (gigabit) so no difference, except between nodes on the lan.
    2. I put in 3/4" black poly water pipe for my conduit
    3. This is still working for me year 3
    4. I’d go with 1" poly pipe the next time, if I ever need another run. .That single cable barely fit in a 3/4" pipe. And send a pull string along with the cable when using the first string to pull the original cable.
