Hi there. I live in a flat with Brick internal walls. My phone socket is in the living room but my kids bedrooms dont get any signal. How can I improve this please?

Thank you in advance.

You are best to purchase Wi-fi boosters, which NOW do not provied. These will need to be shed from your own pocket. 

 

Wi-fi boosters or Powerline adapters can be sourced from Amazon.

FYI that I do not work for NOW, just a NOW customer trying to help

@Anonymous User Have a look at the help article below, specifically Step 4. The 2.4Ghz channel may be better over a longer distance from the router.

As suggested in the article, I split my 5 & 2.4GHz bands with different SSID. 

 

Sadly I still have one room and my garden without wifi. It seems the Now router is not as powerful as the nice D-link router provided by my previous ISP.

 

I think the only way I will get wifi in these areas is by installing one of those wifi booster devices. Or just use 4G for Spotify when in the bath or garden.

I had a similar problem with my android projector. It was set too far away from my main hub. I had all kinds of connection issues including lip sync problems. I tried everything. Turns out where I wanted my Projector was a bit of a dead zone for my internet to reach and stay stable. What i did to fix this issue was purchase an Internet Extender.  I recommend TP-Link AC750. It's available on Amazon. It's easy to set up and you can manage your extender through an app on your phone. What was a dead zone in my house is now a green zone. I have experienced no more problems. I bought the extender specially for my projector so I can play Now and Netflix. I couldn't be happier with my TP-AC750 Internet Extender.
