Hello everyone,
I have a well-insulated house, and as a result, the wifi does not reach the upper floor. However, I have RJ45 outlets in every room, all connected to a switch in the laundry room near the modem.
I am therefore looking for a way to have wifi on all floors via one of the existing RJ45 outlets in order to avoid installing a powerful router in the laundry room. (If I installed RJ45s everywhere, it’s not to eat wifi signals all the time)
What do you suggest I use? What solutions would you consider?
- A wifi repeater? That’s not really meant for that and they don’t have RJ45 (in)
- A router to place on each floor? In that case, I would have different wifi networks, right? -> not great
- ...?
If someone can enlighten me, that would be cool
Thanks!!

Good evening,
I recommend products such as the Belkin go n300 db,
It creates a Wi-Fi hotspot from an RJ45 connection, available here on Amazon (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-Dual-Band-Wireless-Broadband-F9K1107uk/dp/B006Q7FG3W available for around £15, which is a reasonable price.
Hoping to have shed some light on your search
Best regards

Will this wifi be the same as on the ground floor? Same identifier, same network name?
Only a wifi repeater can allow the same network key.
It's not a problem, you can save both codes on your devices, the device will choose the wifi based on the best signal it detects from where you are :)
There you go :)
