A few years ago we moved to a new house. Due to a few things, the only place that I could really put my gaming setup was on the opposite side of the house as the WiFi router. I quickly realized that my connection was hit or miss, so I decided to buy a WiFi booster to put about halfway between the router and my game room. I got it set up, and from there is should've been easy sailing. Unfortunately, I noticed that my connection was still hit or miss, but I figured it had to have been better than it was before I hooked up the extender.
Fast forward to a month ago, and my connection really started taking a dump. I'm talking, disconnects every 30 minutes or so dump. It made it super hard to play online games because I was getting disconnected all the time. I reached a point where I was avoiding some of my favorite games because I was worried that I'd get disconnected and ruin the experience for others, and I might even get banned in some games for "leaving" a match early.
A couple hours ago, I got disconnected once again, and I was fed up. I needed to get to the bottom of this. After a little digging around on the internet, I was looking at my WiFi menu and I decided to try connecting to the "EXT" version of my WiFi that had been there ever since I hooked up the booster. I knew it was the extended WiFi, but I had tried connecting to it when I got the booster and it said no internet, so I assumed it just boosted the WiFi and had its own connection for some reason. Turns out it DOES work, and my gaming experience has NEVER been smoother. No more lag, no more stuttering, and most importantly, no more disconnects. It's literally heaven.
TLDR; Got a WiFi booster a few years ago, just learned I actually need to connect to the booster's WiFi to get the boosted WiFi
