> 99% of the time the problem can be solved by better placing their current access point, whether that means moving their ISP provided router/AP, or installing a standalone AP and disabling whatever they're currently using for WiFi. This argument is specious and unrealistic. 99% of the time you cannot move the current access point. Everyone tries that first, and it didn't worked. You're stuck with the fiber AP in a corner of your home, and you're not going to place your WiFi AP as your dinner table's center piece. And reinstalling APs is far more expensive than adding a repeater. I mean, are you aware that a WiFi repeater nowadays goes for less than 20$? You order it, get it immediately delivered to your home, plug it in, press a button. Bam. Problem solved. No recabling, no technician, no appointment, no wasted afternoon. nothing. And you don't have to go through the WiFi seance session whenever you move your laptop. Just plug in the repeater and you're done.
