I purchased the Google pucks from Costco - not sure what they are called. Seemed to help us quite a bit. I know there are others out there but I walked by a display in Costco and said this should be good enough for us - thats about as much research as I put into it before purchase.

This will make things better. Make sure speed is good upstairs first.

The solution to any problem - work, love, money, whatever - is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be. --John Gierach

We use the Velop mesh system in some of our locations to extend and boost the wifi and cell signal. No complaints so far.
