I have a TP link TL-WR740N wifi router (http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/cat-9_TL-WR740N.html) at my home.
Now the problems is that ever since I have shifted to a larger house, I do not get the signal all across the house.
What are the options with me to "extend" the wifi range?
1. High gain Antenna? Increase the radiation power (by playing the firmware)?
2. Get a another TPlink TLWR740N router and run the WDS (http://www.tp-link.com/en/faq-227.html)
3. Get a something labelled as repeater/range extender (http://www.tp-link.in/products/?categoryid=1247)
a) High gain antenna seems to be only a remote possibility. Not seen around. If there is a simple way of increasing the radiation power, that will be fine. But I don't wish to really change the firmware.
b) I was reading about setting WDS and it looks to be a pain in certain cases - people have faced problems. Also I believe this will create a new SSID. Won't this bring a new set of problems while I am roaming across the house and my device tries to latch on to one or the other wifi network?
c) What exactly does the Sr.No.3 do and why is it double the price of a router (Sr.No.2)?
