I'm 16 and live in a really remote area with my parents. Our WiFi is super slow and just doesn't work well at all. I'm wondering if I could make my own WiFi network that wouldn't cost us a fortune and would actually be decent to use. I only took one programming class and struggled, so if this is even doable, I'll need things explained in simple terms without all the tech jargon.

There are alternatives out there, like looking into Starlink for satellite internet access. It can deliver decent speeds, though it's on the pricey side – around $80 to $120 a month depending on the plan. Just remember, the problem is likely your internet connection itself rather than your WiFi setup.
Honestly, if you don't understand the basics of internet vs. WiFi, you might want to rethink this. Setting up your own network can be overly complex without the right knowledge.
Yeah, Starlink could be a great option, especially since you're in a remote area. Also, check if cellular-based ISPs like T-Mobile or Verizon are viable for you!
