    Hello, I have a PENTAGRAM P6360 router and the question is whether the wifi amplifier alone is enough to have a stronger range on the floor? I have a router on the ground floor. And to such an amplifier you need to connect an rj-45 cable or just connect wirelessly?
    Regards

    As far as you talk about a repeater it connects wirelessly.

    That's how quickly I can offer TP-Link TL-WA850RE.
    Write also how much space you want to cover, where there are currently no coverage, and what internet you have.

    You will achieve the best quality by connecting another AP (upstairs) with a LAN cable and pentagram.
    I do not recommend amplifiers.

    Such an "amplifier" should be somewhere halfway. If you have a router downstairs and a computer one floor above, where do you place it? In the ceiling? ;-)

    Only this router has only 2 LAN outputs and both are occupied: /
    And buying a better one will cover the entire ground floor and floor?
    How so, what?

    Write what your internet speed is and whether there is something transmitted through your home network locally, otherwise you can't determine what will be best.

    There is only one AND internet and everyone has the same.

    Internet 6 Mb / s

    Twisted pair or PLC adapters, and at this speed the cheapest adapters will do their job perfectly.

    In that case, this repeater proposed by me should give advice. However, the most stable solution will be pulling the twisted pair to the first floor and placing the AP there.

    Repeater put at a good point at any speed will manage but cut this speed by half.

    The internet will work with the repeater, but if you like to play some online games, packet loss / ping pings will bother you a lot. I know this from my own experience, I have this configuration:
    Router (TP-LINK TD-W8960N) + Repeater (TP-LINK TL-WA750RE)
    The repeater is set to 70% of the router's range. Unfortunately, it works so that when pinging the router through cmd, the packet is lost from time to time, the ping jump up to 200 ms in a moment, the accumulation of 10-20 pings with a value of 100-400 ms after a while and this situation repeats endlessly. If you have the option, lay the twisted pair cable and place an additional Access Point. Repeater from an autopsy I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

    From what I see, you write that you have two of the two available LAN ports occupied in the router, the solution - unplug one device from the LAN port, plug the cheapest Switch there and plug these two devices into this Switch.

    In summary, it should look like this:
    Switch plugged into the router's LAN1 port
    Access Point plugged into the router's LAN2 port
    Two devices plugged into the switch port, e.g. LAN2, LAN3.

    Problem solved.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around enhancing the Wi-Fi range of a PENTAGRAM P6360 router, particularly for coverage on an upper floor. Users suggest that while a Wi-Fi amplifier (repeater) can connect wirelessly, the best performance is achieved by using a wired connection to an additional Access Point (AP) on the upper floor. Recommendations include the TP-Link TL-WA850RE repeater, but concerns are raised about potential speed reduction and packet loss when using repeaters, especially for online gaming. Users also discuss the possibility of using a switch to expand LAN ports if all are occupied.
