Will adding a second router improve signal quality throughout my apartment? Right now, I have one in my living room, but I'd like to have one in my bedroom as well. What is the best/easiest way to do this?

A 2nd Router will do Almost Nothing to Improve your 1st Connection. If they're Connected to the same Signal, it may even Weaken the Signal itself.:yeshrug:

Too Many Devices may make the Signal seem :flabbynsick:

No offense breh but if you have to ask dont try it. it more than likely will just cause interference and/or shotty wifi connection.Most signal extenders are garbo.But look into an Asus router ,from what ive heard they seem to be most reliable for resedential purposes.

wireless routers come with a variety of ranges.
i used to live in a small apartment so when i got my first wireless router i considered getting the cheaper model
with shorter range but then reconsidered and got the one with the longest range.

glad i did too because now i'm living in a much larger crib and it's paying off to have that long range connection.

maybe you should just get rid of the one you have now and get one with longer range.

Most routers ranges are somewhere around 300 ft, so if you are getting a shytty connection. Could be that router ( try a firmware update ).
