    Wireless Booster/Extender

    What is the opinion or belief for a range extender that would be considered reliable? I am running more and more into situations where the router is at one part of the house and the TV trying to run Netflix wireless is at the other end.

    My best suggestion is to use the same brand of extender as the router.

    I prefer to use powerline adapters in this situation.

    I agree with you however this is a Linksys/Cisco router and the extenders I read about say the setup is almost impossible if you can get it to work. Some say they went to the Amped and had better luck with it. Thoughts?? Linksys PLW400

    Thank you for all the tips and suggestions. I finally went to Fry's Electronics this weekend and bought the Netgear AC750 Dual Band range extender. I am going one day this week to set it up. Let you know how it goes.
