So I am back to where I was with a slow connection at the end of the house, but instead of being because of lower signal strength from the original router, it is because of the intermediate Netgear amplifier.
Hmm. Is there another way to get better wifi at the far end of the house?
Thanks for your help.
It may be obvious, but where did you install the amplifier? If it is in a low signal area then it won't have much to amplify: it needs a strongish signal to amplify and then send on to the dead zone.
Trial and error to find an ideal spot to both receive a good signal and then get it into the dead zone may help.
