Hi everyone! We recently switched to Quantum Fiber for our internet service, but unfortunately, we're facing some serious connectivity issues. We only have signal in a small area of our house now, whereas we used to cover the entire property with an extender. I know I need a new router as the one from Quantum Fiber isn't doing the job, but I'm looking for specific recommendations. Our living situation includes a small house and a few outbuildings where my housemates used to have internet access with the previous system. Now, they're all stuck in the house to use the internet, which is less than ideal. I'm willing to invest in a good solution to get full coverage across my property. What setup or equipment do you suggest?

Running Ethernet cables is often the best solution for ensuring a stable connection throughout your property. You should consider installing access points in key areas, especially in places where devices, like desktops or consoles, will remain stationary. If your extender isn’t working, it might be worth checking its compatibility with your new Quantum Fiber service.
What distances are we talking about here? If you're looking at under 100 meters, you can easily use Cat 6 Ethernet cables, which are affordable and effective. For longer distances, wireless bridges can help extend your network without having to run cables everywhere. Just make sure you plan out your coverage.
It sounds like the issue isn’t the internet provider but possibly the change in your router setup. Double-check if your extender is correctly configured with your new network's name and password. Remember, many routers have similar ranges, and factors like location and interference play a big role. If it’s within your budget, a mesh network could also be really beneficial for larger areas.
