We have a Netgear Orbi router downstairs with an Orbi satellite upstairs and we have a strong wifi signal all over the house.
Pickup any domestic wifi router and run it in access point mode. Make sure to turn off dhcp server etc on it so it doesn’t conflict with the softbank router. You will need to run a length of Ethernet cable between them.
no particular recommendations but i would suggest getting something with wifi 6.
We’re using a Deco x50 pair in a 3 story house without issue so can recommend them. Even out on the mesh unit upstairs we still get 900+Mbps up/down. The app to control them is pretty slick as well.
After trying lots of ax gen wireless routers I found for the price and performance the Deco X60 worked for me.
For a repeater, I picked up a Tether. It sits in the center of my house so the Wi-Fi signal reaches all ends. The router is in the bedroom and previously we were unable to watch streaming services in the living room without buffering. That’s all fixed now with the repeater (internet is still shit, but what are you gonna do).
Sure, a ubuiquiti UISP Airmax Gigabeam has a range of about 2 km.
But seriously, WiFi is a difficult medium to transmit, and without knowing how far your bedroom is from your router and what kind of walls are in between, it’s impossible to give a proper recommendation.
I would avoid boosters as they are a kludgy hack. Assuming you don’t want to run wires to install new access points, go with a mesh system.
I’ve used Netgear Orbi and Google WiFi products which are easy to setup and provide great coverage, but most mesh products don’t support [IPv4 over IPv6](https://24wireless.info/ipv4-over-ipv6-router-list) (v6 Plus, OCN Virtual Connect, Trasix etc.) and the ones which list support weren’t stable in my use. I had to keep the original router just to handle IPv4 over IPv6, disabled WiFi, then connected the mesh WAN port to the old router.
