This led to attempt two to resolve the network latency and packet drops. I wanted to get an ethernet connection in my son’s office to reduce or eliminate the network latency and packet drops. There were packet drops, and the latency was spiking. This attempt worked for a bit except when I was on a video call, the wife was streaming, and the son was gaming. This combination had ‘FastLane3’ technology (Dedicated WiFi Link to the router to avoid halving bandwidth of extended WiFi signals and innovative antenna design for ultimate coverage). I already had a NETGEAR Nighthawk X4S WiFi Router (R7800), so I added a NETGEAR WiFi Mesh Range Extender (EX8000) to offload some of the wireless clients too. On the first attempt, I extended my wireless network with a network repeater. I currently don’t have any CAT5/6/7 wiring in my house, so I tried extending my wireless network a few different ways.

All of these devices, plus the other 30 or so on, were taxing my router. These devices are typically streaming in some way, shape, or form. The main house TV, my work computer, my son’s computer or Xbox, and the daughter’s Fire Stick/YouTube. Since working from home, I have three to four machines that are constantly ‘on the internet’. At any given time, there are around forty devices connected to my home network. I have multiple Amazon Fire Sticks, computers, smart TVs, mobile phones, smart appliances, and so much more. There are so many devices that are connected to our home networks nowadays. Hard Wire your Home without Ethernet using MoCA
