I just moved to a new place, and my Wi-Fi modem is really far away on the other side of the house. It's super frustrating because my internet keeps cutting out, especially when I'm trying to watch movies. My Alexa isn't working properly either, and I want to set up my smart lights but can't because of the weak connection. I'm asking how to extend my Wi-Fi to my bedroom? I'm 23 and usually pretty good with tech, but Wi-Fi stuff really confuses me. Also, any solutions that don't cost a lot would be awesome since I'm tight on money right now. Thanks a bunch!

One option is to buy a Wi-Fi extender and place it midway between you and the router. That helps boost the signal a bit, but if you want better performance, running a long Ethernet cable is the way to go. It'll provide a super strong connection! You can find cables for around $30, and it'll only take you about an hour to set up.
If you're looking for the cheapest option, getting a Wi-Fi repeater could work too, but keep in mind it may not provide the best speed. The best solution overall would probably be to buy a better router with a strong signal. Look for bigger routers instead of small ones, they usually handle connections better!
Totally agree! Spending on a good router can save you headaches later. Definitely worth looking into!.
You could try using PowerLine adapters! They plug into your wall outlets and send the internet through the electrical wiring. This is an easy way to extend your connection without running long cables all over the house. Just make sure your outlets are on the same circuit for it to work well!
Yeah, Ethernet is definitely better! You could even check with your work IT person; they sometimes have spare cables.
