Hi All,

I am looking for some help. I have a large house which has meant continued WiFi issues.

I have Ethernet access points in almost every room which are fed from my main WIFI connection (wired)

I upgraded my old WIFI router and have an Archer C6 in the living room which is plugged into the Ethernet port in the living room wall. However i was still getting weak signal in the farthest bedroom (i have Sonos throughout so this was a problem)

So i purchased a second Archer C6 and placed it in the farthest again plugged into the Ethernet point in the bedroom wall.

So now I have two WiFi networks and have to run separate Sonos accounts for upstairs and downstairs.

I am not overly technical but please could you give me some advice.

I want to run a single WIFI network throughout the house. How do I do this without training a 50m Ethernet cable in the house to connect the two routers and use the second as an extender. Is there a wireless solution??
