New Around Here
I live in a 1000sqft apartment in which the walls appear to be made of kryptonite (1930's building that blocks phone signals). My router's (Asus RT-N66U) wifi doesn't reach one end of the apartment, the bedroom and the bathroom.
I was looking at the Luma or the eero as a way of blanketing the area but I'm told by those companies that if the internet is down (it's Time Warner so that should be "when" not if) then there's no LAN connection.
So if I wanted to stream from my PLEX server that's hardwired to one of the Luma's then it wouldn't stream to any mobile devices during an internet outage.
So I'm looking for way to get a decent wifi connection throughout the apartment that still allows streaming from device to device even if the internet is down.
Some caveats are:
I can't move the outer
With the age of the building I don't think powerlines would be any good.
I tried a wifi extender and it was a waste of money.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.
