The sanctioned action is to CHUG


I have a 1100 square foot condo apartment. Right now we have a Cisco DPC2835 cable modem/router/wifi all in one, but the wifi does not reach all of the way to the back room. Now that we have a 4K smart tv as well, we would like better wifi coverage and higher bandwidth.

I'm not an IT nerd (has to be one on SA right?) but from what I understand is that I want to get a better router and use it to set up my wireless network. Presumably I plug it into a free lan port, use the set up utility to turn off its DNS function, possibly set it to a static IP, and then use it to connect my wireless devices. Correct or is this overly complicated? Also there are huge numbers of different routers available, I assume I want a basic dual channel model? Gigabit is probably overkill but vOv

e. whoops see this was probably better posted up in the main forum, where my questions are mostly already answered too. Apologies
