Strange as it seems, I have great WiFi in my Gizneyland studio, but zero WiFi in my apartment, even though they are back to back. Between the two apartments are bathrooms & small in kitchens and I would have expected WiFi to travel that far, but it doesn’t. There is however a hardwired connection between the two apartments. I asked Leo how to get WiFi using the wired connection in my back apartment and he said buy a TP-Link Access Point. I bought the TP-Link Wireless Access Point TL-WA901N | 2.4Ghz N450 model. The company says: Designed to establish or expand a scalable high-speed wireless N network or to connect an Ethernet-enabled device such as a game console, digital media adapter, printer, or network-attached storage device to a wireless network. Supports Client, Multi-SSID, Range Extender, and AP operation modes to enable various wireless applications. It’s also able to be powered using an Ethernet cable to simultaneously send data and electricity, up to 30 meters (100 feet) of flexible deployment with included Power over Ethernet Injector. Easily setup a WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK encrypted secure connection at a push of the WPS button. — Okay, most of this I don’t understand, but basically I plugged it in and it worked.
But since I only had a single Ethernet wire going into my apartment, t I also had to add a splitter.
I bought the TP-Link TL-SG105 | 5 Port Gigabit Ethernet Splitter. The single wire from my Gizneyland studio goes into that and then a wire from the splitter goes to the new access point. It works fine and now I WiFi everywhere! Thank you, Leo!

It was under $16.00 when I bought time and I don’t think I’ve seen ratings this high before on Amazon: 4.8 out of 5 stars from almost 64,000 reviewers!
