If this is a house, not an apartment, just hire a professional to run the cable. It should be about $100 per cable run anywhere in the house, so long as it's possible.
Get the cable run up to the 2nd floor, then put in a good 5MHz access point on the second floor. You could even set up two access points in wireless bridge mode (one on the second and one on the third floor) and have a switch up on the third floor for hardwiring more devices. These DLink 1525s are great access points with built in switches and can run bridge mode. The newer and more expensive one is the DAP 1650. If you don't need the switch ports on the back, I suggest sticking with the cheaper TP Link AP.
Also, you could see about moving your cable modem upstairs.
I've had this problem, and have spent a considerable amount of time trying to figure out how to solve it.
My best advice would be to ensure that your PS4 is connected to the network via ethernet, not wifi, as there is a single shared antenna for wifi and bluetooth in the PS4^1. If your PS4 is too far away to allow for it to be connected via ethernet, consider purchasing an access point^2.
I also saw improvement by going into the settings of my Samsung Smart TV and disabling every single function that connected by TV to my wireless network. My reasoning was that the TV would periodically "phone home" to download updates to the firmware and streaming video applications supported by the TV, saturating the wireless network; this in turn would interfere with the bluetooth connection between the PS4 and its controller.
Good luck!
Get an access point which can be put into client mode and plug it into your NVR

This way it will connect as if hard wired, but really over wireless
No, it isn't Wifi. It is probably better off being "hard wired".
I haven't done this with Hubitat, but there was a different device that I wanted to hook up wirelessly, and I ended up using a "wireless access point". This is the one I used (less than $25) but there are others out there too. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004UBU8IE
It certainly would add complication to the network, and might cause delays, but otherwise should work.
First question, have you connected a computer directly through the Ethernet before? The WiFi can be forcing the authentication every time you connect but it could also be at the router level, meaning if the Ethernet jack is connected to the same router it is possible that it is configured to still prompt for sign in. If you know that's not the case and an Ethernet connection is directly connected with a live connection then you're good to go this route. If your internet is provided, you don't actually need a router. You simply need an access point. It has no routing capabilities and only broadcasts a WiFi network that runs back through the network. Here's a great inexpensive option for what you are looking for.
TP-Link Wireless N300 2T2R Access Point, 2.4Ghz 300Mbps, 802.11b/g/n, AP/Client/Bridge/Repeater, 2x 4dBi, Passive POE (TL-WA801ND) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004UBU8IE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_TE-RBbJN4BZ41
Setting it up as an access point will assure you don't have to do any more advanced network configuration due to double NAT or relaying DHCP servers.
It depends on your budget mostly. The best performance/price AP out there, in my opinion, is the Unifi AP AC Lite. This is currently available on Amazon for $75 and the performance is very impressive even compared to $500 enterprise grade APs.
If you have a tiny budget, even something like this TP-Link 802.11n Access Point at $25 would be 6 times faster than your WRT54G.
Honestly, in your situation, I would try the Unifi one and it wouldn't even be surprising if it covered your whole house much better.

This will give coverage to your whole house. It will run you about ~ $60 dollars.

I bring a wireless bridge with me ($25) to turn the hotel WIFI into my own personal WIFI hub. Then a Chromecast ($35) for the TV entertainment will connect to the bridge (so will my phone/tablet/laptop).
Here's the bridge I use on Amazon:

default mode is access point. also can be used as wifi repeater.

If your modem has 4 available Ethernet ports then it's probably a modem/router combo. A normal modem only has one port.
If you don't wanna move anything you can buy a cheap 4-5 port network switch and plug it into one of your router ports to expand it and use one of the ports on that switch for the adapter.
I prefer just using the PowerLine kits to get a good wired source to where you need it then plugging a access point into that. Wireless extenders are only as good as your existing wireless signal which in your case seem poor in that area.
Here's an idea of parts to get a reliable wireless signal to another side of house.

5 port switch to your router, from the switch to the PowerLine adapter. From the other powerline adapter in your target room/area to the access point. Then setup the access point and name it "Other side of house wifi" lol
This should give you a great full bar wifi source without uprooting your existing setup.

Ich hatte vor etwa einem Jahr
exakt das gleicheein ähnliches Problem.Powerline habe ich probiert, war aber dank uraltem und merkwürdig verlegten Leitungen keine Option, einfach einen WLAN-Adapter an den Desktop auch nicht, da mehrere Rechner versorgt werden wollen. Habe es dann letztendlich gelöst, indem ich einen billigen (zweiten) Router gekauft, bridge mode eingestellt und das Teil zwischen Provider-Fritzbox und Switch gepackt. Funktioniert super, Nachteil sind noch eine Box, die Platz im Serverschränkchen wegnimmt und etwa ~3 ms ping extra, das ist noch vertretbar. Empfang ist gut, trotz zwei Rigips-Wänder und einem Ziegel-Schornstein.
Edit: Hmm, irgendwie hatte ich überlesen, dass ein simpler WLAN-Adapter/Karte bei dir eine der Optionen ist. Wäre das einfachste.
>there's a cable in the wifi box thing in the wall
I don't know what this means. Does this mean there's an ethernet jack available to you to use? Is the wireless router physically in your apartment? Can you try plugging a PC into this router and see if the PC gets internet through the router?
Regardless there's a different way to get it working and that's by using a wireless bridge.
https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Wireless-300Mbps-Repeater-TL-WA801ND/dp/B004UBU8IE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1502852928&sr=8-1&keywords=tp+link+wireless+bridge
This will connect to the WiFi and rebroadcast it out across your apartment. So if it works well if your roommates room, then you'd just put the bridge in there and connect it to the WiFi and it would rebroadcast it out hopefully giving you a better signal assuming your roommates room is close to your room.
If you're going to end up buying new hardware, I'd suggest going with Powerline ethernet, unless you really want to buy a new router/wireless bridge. It will be be less clutter, cheaper, and more reliable (than cheap wireless bridge alternatives).
Out of the box Wireless Bridge capable routers, you could get something like this TP-LINK.
I'd suggest any Asus router, and flash tomato on it. Something cheap like this N-12 would do. I like the asus routers because they are unbrickable; perfect for messing about with the firmware.
Thanks for the quick reply!
So would something like this work?

And could I connect something like this:

So I have multiple ethernet ports?
Or is there a more efficient way to do this? Sorry again haha, total noob here.
Netflix/Amazon at present only do 4K primarily on TVs/Fire boxes
If you did want to use a PC you need a Kaby Lake CPU and Microsoft Edge
Here's the bandwidth requirements
>25 Megabits per second - Recommended for Ultra HD quality
Now I know that G should give enough at 54 Mbps but this theoretical maximum and what you get is highly subjective to your house (Angel through walls, wall type, neighbours etc all have an effect). That's why I say go wired if possible, you could try it first, but be aware of the issues.
I have used a PoE access point in the same room if getting the wires to one side is hard. That way the Wifi signal only went 4m in clear air. If it works it isn't stupid
good cheap bridge
Something like this might work nicely:
https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Wireless-300Mbps-Repeater-TL-WA801ND/dp/B004UBU8IE
It can operate in bridge mode. Have it connect to your campus WiFi and then plug the Pi into the ethernet port. You'll never need to enter a network password on the Pi.
I would not reccomend a wifi range extender. It is only as good as the signal at the place you plug it in. Since you have already run some ethefnet cable, you can just plug in a wireless access point. NOT a router. If you use a router you wont be able to communicate with your other devices (network printer, nas, chromecast... ) as intended. You can get an access point for around 25 bucks offamazon remember to set different ssids for your main router and the access point since many devices dont switch to the nearest ap automatically and if you have set the same ssid there is (almost) no way to make sure you are on the right access point. Oh and also different wieless channels.
I have no experience with that but looking at the manual, it supports WDS which does link 2 routers together, so I think it may work, but WDS will cut your bandwidth in half.
Since you are so close physically, this might work.
http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-WA801ND-Wireless-300Mbps-Repeater/dp/B004UBU8IE/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1450193083&sr=8-5&keywords=2.4+bridge
He could connect this bridge to your wifi, then his router to the bridge to broadcast his own wifi network.
But also with a bridge like this connected to a consumer router, you won't be able to really separate your networks without VLANS.
Better to get a cheap switch to split the wired connection and then hang a cheap access point off of it. Or just run the router upstairs/mount it to the ceiling. Something.
Okay, you have a few options here. The simplest would be a wireless repeater- something similar to this- placed mid-way between your rooms and refreshing the signal to provide strong wi-fi to your room. However, going through two layers of wireless will impact speed. There's a better way.
A quick note- do not just connect another router to the cable running to your roommate's router. This will usually work, but without special configuration, it will put you in a state called "double NAT", which is a headache. Especially if you game.
In your place, I would buy a separate switch and Access Point.
Now, your PC's access is going:
PC->Switch->Roommate
and your phone is going:
Phone->AP->Switch->Roommate.
You can configure a network name, password, etc for your Access Point, entirely separate from whatever wifi your roommate has.
You can likely find a single product that can do both of these functions (a correctly reconfigured router can do the job), meaning fewer devices/wires and probably less cost. But if I had to buy a setup that I knew would work with a minimum of fuss and configuration, those are what I would buy.

You can use it as an access point, it will connect to your WiFi network and you plug it via ethernet to your PS4.
The Wyze cams need to be activated on WiFi and need to check in regularly with the cloud system.
If you have a basement or attic, from your router you can run an Ethernet cable across to the wall closest to the garage and add a cheap tp-link access point to service the camera

> ur crappy WRT54G's is a joke.
Please don't discount this advice, OP, on the basis of how /u/tdotr6 has expressed himself - WRT54Gs really are not up to routing at this kind of speed.
You can get 300Mbps wifi for as little as $25 - I can't recommend this or this
from personal experience, but read some reviews and I wouldn't be surprised if you find one (or both) of them adequate. 802.11n should give you better range, too.
Like wolffstar said tho the wireless cards aren't super reliable you could go for a TP-Link Wireless N300 2T2R Access Point, 2.4Ghz 300Mbps, 802.11b/g/n https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004UBU8IE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_joADybXQHG37
It's 25$ it only goes up to 100m but it's cheap and reliable I'm not positive if it supports vlan tagging I got my first AP with vlan support because I was interested in dividing up my network into clean sections but if you go the pfsense route I think you should get this pfsense has a lot of things to play with and configure so a AP that isn't super feature full might be ok because it does the minimum it needs to do connect wireless systems
That's a switch you're using, so everything will be easy. Considering your internet speed of 150 Mbps, any router or access point from the last ~10 years will be fine, unless you need wireless coverage far away from your room. So no need for anything expensive, especially if you just need it for school work. Just buy one and plug it in. Most models generally default to router. One of the first questions you will be asked when setting it up the first time, is the operating mode. Just pick "Access Point" or "AP Mode" and you should be good. Then pick a network name and a safe password, and you will be online.
If you specifically want an access point instead of a router, I would personally recommend this TP-Link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004UBU8IE/
I've installed many, and I found them to work great, in addition to being extremely cheap. Also, being an access point, it will come already configured for that, so you can just plug it in and use the password on the back to connect: literally no need for configuration.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004UBU8IE/ref=psdcmw_1194486_t1_B01LFSDZCU
That will do. You can also look for one with more ports of you will want to connect more than one device.
Thanks for your response. I purchased this to set up as another AP: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004UBU8IE/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1421595716&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SY200_QL40&dpPl=1&dpID=41poupiCvrL&ref=plSrch#
I'm still confused about what to do with it though. Should it be set up as a bridge or an AP? I have tried both and I am still having issues. How would you set it up? Maybe I am just missing a simple step that is causing my problem. Thanks for your help I really appreciate it.
Understood, I'm a real newbie when it comes to network stuff haha.
Could I plug a wireless access point like this with the RB750Gr3?
One router should be able to handle your 20 total devices. But if you plan on growing your farm you should add an access point (I use this one for $22) and it handles 20 devices. My main router ($30) handles 10 devices running MLB.tv, Netflix, online gaming and a few beermoney apps. And all on 65 Mbps connection with very little slowdown.
Like I said, your router should be able to handle what you have. People have mentioned before, but try switching your WiFi channel by logging into your router.
I had a similar issue of huge slow downs but changing the channel fixed it. Download the android app WiFi Analyzer to see how many other networks are being used in your area and choose the one with the fewest congestion. Other forms of interference like baby monitors and other household appliances don't show up on that app so make sure to test all three non-overlapping channels (1,6,11) before going out and buying an access point or new router. I'm pretty sure my issue involved a baby monitor on channel 11 and switching to 1 solved all the lag.
Also, if your router is dual band, try moving as many devices over to the 5GHz WiFi as you can.
Lastly, if none of that works, your DNS might be slow which happens every once in a while when using an ISPs default DNS servers. You can use namebench to find the best DNS server then go into your router and change your DNS settings.
EDIT: And rebooting your modem's probably not a bad thing to try.
> Do you have a 2g and 5g dual band router?
The router does both 2g and 5g but I've already disabled the 5g. I looked through the access point configuration page but I didn't see that option.

It has been a while since I've looked, so things might have improved. But what kind of price point are we talking for a solid consumer router that supports QoS? You can get an Edgerouter X for $50, and pair it with something like a TP-Link WAP for $25.
Edit: Prices in USD
I don't use consumer bridges often, but you will want to find something along the lines of this. Essentially, you want a device that can connect wired devices to a wireless station (router) hence "wireless bridge." Some of these wireless bridges can also be used as an Access Point (AP) should you want to extend coverage in your home better than what your repeater can do.
Edit: Do note that some bridges only have one port on it. To add more devices, you will need a network switch.
You can buy an access point which will allow you to produce the same signal and give you better coverage. Depending on what you have you can buy this or a cheaper one not from Netgear.
you could get a wireless access point. this would allow you to have your own wifi from that node.
This one will work: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Wireless-300Mbps-Repeater-TL-WA801ND/dp/B004UBU8IE/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=wireless+access+point&qid=1572366056&sr=8-4
If you want more ethernet ports, try this: https://www.amazon.com/Ethernet-Splitter-Optimization-Unmanaged-TL-SG105/dp/B00A128S24/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=gigabit+switch&qid=1572366139&sr=8-3
And, of course, you can combo both. basically just a wireless router, which you could also use but it may cause issues with DNS or NAT resolution.
Theoretically I don’t see any problems with what you’re suggesting.... however both your routers will be broadcasting DHCP. You need to disable it on the one upstairs (or just buy an Access Point to use instead of a 2nd router) or you’ll get a load of network related problems. You’ll probably need to manually set an IP on the router upstairs.
I had the same issue, I bought one of these TP-LINK TL-WA801ND 300 Mbps Wireless N Access Point
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004UBU8IE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_PZWKDbMFCK66Z
No, you don't want a range extender. Since you have a cable ran to your room you want a wired access point.

For real, the Tp-link option would probably work. I have one at home for my garage. But, if you wanted something "business grade" maybe look for a used Cisco Aironet AP, slightly older, but make sure it comes with the Full code on it, not the lightweight. (that's for use with a controller)
Something like THIS WIRELESS BRIDGE is what you need.
It allows you to connect the PS4 via Ethernet and then the device connects to the WiFi.
Is the built-in WiFi on the PS4 too weak for you?
> a hub with several outputs
A hub? Or a switch? Likely (hopefully) a switch. That's step 1.
Step two is an access point. For this, you can either get a dedicated access point (like https://www.amazon.ca/TP-Link-TL-WA801ND-Wireless-300Mbps-Repeater/dp/B004UBU8IE/) or buy/use a router as an access point. There are tonnes of articles on how to do this if you google it, but basically you configure a router to turn off the DHCP. Then with a few more steps it will act as an AP instead of a router. Plug that in and you're golden.

You think thatll work?
Did a bit of research, found this.
My understanding is that I can keep the router in the garage, set this up as an access point connected to one of the pre-wired locations in the house, use the same channel, ssid, and password, disable DHCP server on the AP, and it will all seamlessly connect as a single wifi network and I am then free to move about the house and the AP will work simultaneously with the router.
Is this correct?
Leave the router in the room with the cable modem.
Put one of these on the other side of that wire (http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-WA801ND-Wireless-300Mbps-Repeater/dp/B004UBU8IE/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1452443009&sr=1-1&keywords=access+point)
Set it up as an access point with the same SSID and security options. Use different channels on the router and the access point. You will now have extended wifi coverage and your devices will roam decently well between the two signals.
> TP-Link Wireless Access Point
So what information will i need to set it up? just the ssid and the password for the wifi? Anything else?
Will the neighbor need to adjust any setting in the router for the ip camera to be viewable from the outside?

Prima dici

Non funziona così.
Quel prodotto prende la rete wireless e la amplifica. La porta Ethernet serve se devi collegarci un PC fisso. Intendo che (da quanto ho capito) non puoi mettergli dentro il cavo che parte dal muro.
Detto questo, a te serve un access point (o un router WiFi con la funzione access point) tipo questo TP-Link TL-WA801ND V5.0 Access Point Wireless, 300 Mbps, 2 Antenne Esterne, WPS, PoE.
Come funziona? Semplice: prende la connessione dalla porta della parete e la converte in WiFi.
Rather than getting a booster, get an access point and plug it into the ethernet port, then you'll have much better WiFi in your room
The APs I like are kinda advanced for configuring, so I probably wouldn't recommend it.
I would only buy something name brand, the knock-offs may work but often are junk.
This isn't newest tech and I wouldn't recommend it for a lot of other situations, but if you want a good ants cheap way to increase your spends significantly it will work:

yea, the client is one of these. https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Wireless-300Mbps-Repeater-TL-WA801ND/dp/B004UBU8IE/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1497201139&sr=8-19&keywords=tplink so luckly i have 2 so i'll stick the other one out there and have it connect exclusively to that.
ideally, because this is linking two buildings id use ethernet, but I'd either have to dig or run a cable in the air and neither seem like great idea's or as easy to implement.
Thank you for the info, I have bookmarked the links. Would something like this also be sufficient with an Ethernet cable buried to the shop and plug it into the wall or is there a snag to this I am unaware of?

excellent advice on the edge router. What about a cheap access point for me? My crappy tplink is mostly sufficient, but interested in your recommendations
Verizon routers have a MoCA adapter built in, so the functionality you're trying to get with the MoCA adapter connected to the Verizon router with Ethernet is already built into the router. There are two situations where you would want to use a MoCA adapter:
I do not recommend a second router as this will basically give you two different networks, one for each. Get an access point instead, and if you need Ethernet ports, a switch as well.
Yes, you only need an access point (AP) to have another point from where wireless signal is emitted from.
You still need to have a modem, router, switch already, but if you do, which your all-in-one "wireless router" is, then you just run a cable to where you get no signal, pop up the AP, config, and you are good to go.
 
> I definitely want to keep it as inexpensive as possible.
This is not conducive to your greater purpose. Cheap stuff does not work well, cheap stuff breaks, cheap stuff gives you cheap performance.
I guess this is the lowest I would... no I would not, but that you could go and have a probably decent experience.
Edit: remember that you will need to run an ethernet cable from your router to this thing. I guess wireless bridge mode is also an option, but because of performance I would not suggest it.
I don't know if this is the best place to ask this, if not please tell where.
Anyways, I searching for a wifi repeater that works via an ethernet cable. For now, the one I liked the most this one. It's going to be used for office work monstly, so I'm not going for the fastest repeater, but for a cheap, reliable one. Do you guys have any recomendations?
Here you go
No special router needed in your case.
E: If you want to connect some other devices via cable to it.
Okay thank you for the clarification. I found this on amazon which appears to have good reviews. It might be a decent option to pick up 2 as a low-budget way to get a start on boosting my network? Then I could see if it works better for what I need and if so, then I would be willing to maybe upgrade and get better AP's before I just dive right in and find myself in over my head.

Get an access point to handle the WiFi for all of the WiFi connected devices and turn off the WiFi on the router you have you PC connected to.

I've used TP-Link stuff a fair bit (using an old AC1750 at the moment), but I bought my old dear the ADSL version of that router and it's pretty shit.
get one of these and put it in wisp mode
Thanks for the suggestion, that thing does look nice but I ended up picking this up on Amazon and it works incredibly well.
On mobile so here's the link

So something like this Netgear switch paired with this TP-Link AP? I'd like to spend less on the switch since I only need two ports if possible.
