Reddit reviews NETGEAR AC1200 Wireless WiFi Range Extender (EX6200)

Since you are renting, pulling cables inside the wall isn't really an option, but that is normally the #1 choice. Here are other options, in order of best to worst.

1. Running a long cable is going to be your best bet for something that will work consistently and reliably. You can run the wire along the baseboards in a clean fashion. It might not be possible, but if it is, I highly recommend it.
   
   
2. If there is a coaxial outlet near where the router is, you can use a pair of MoCA adapters. These adapters will use the coaxial cabling of the house to transport the Ethernet signal from the router to your computer. You need one near the router, plugged into it and one near your PC, plugged into it.
   
   
3. Wireless bridge using dedicated bridging equipment. NOT a wireless extender. A wireless bridge is a "point to point" wireless link. You can get super high performance ones (like this : Ubiquiti Nanobeam AC) that will provide a way for you to plug your computer wirelessly to the router. You would need one at the router pointed to your room and one at your computer pointed to the router. These aren't like "standard" wifi, they are specifically made to provide a point to point link.
   
   
4. Wireless bridge using standard equipment. Using a wireless "extender" that can run in bridge mode allows you to connect the extender to your PC via an ethernet connection and to your main router via the standard wifi of your router. You can get these for around half to price of the dedicated link setup, but the performance will be lower. Here's an example : Netgear EX6200.
   
   
5. Powerline adapters. This is really a gamble. Some people have used them and got reliable connections and good speed and some people are getting 5 Mbps and constant drops. It mostly depends on how the electrical wiring of your home is built and what is generating interference. It's better than no connection at all, but not by much. If you decide to buy a pair, make sure you buy them from a store that will allow you to return them if they don't work in your house. Setup is usually easy, plug one in the router, plug one in your PC, pray to your chosen deity.
   
   Hope this helps!

Any kind of wifi extender will do the trick.
Yes It is kind of illegal to steal someone's wifi.
No the ISP that provides Internet to the business won't see that the business added a new device (your wifi extender) to the network. They'll see that some traffic from this box IP is going through TOR or VPN's, but again, they're paying attention to that If LE ask them to pay attention mate -> It's not the fucking NSA :D
However, the business owners might find you If there is someone tech savvy enough to check if everybody got off the wifi when closing the shop (I ask my clients to do that for example).
All in all I don't see the point of your scheme -> Use Whonix or Tails; follow all the Opsec rules of the DNM bible and you'll be fine !
Happy browsing :)

This is what I have, but I got it from BestBuy :P

Sits under my TV and the signal is way stronger than my TV or gaming consoles.

There's a setting somewhere in the network menu you can flip off that gives dramatically better wifi performance. I forgot what it's called and I'm not with my TV at the moment, but it's some toggle for something that you'd look at and say "sure I'll leave that on" even though it seems useless, because it looks harmless. Flip that one off.

But the smarter thing to do is buy a wifi repeater and hardwire the TV, plus anything else you have in the vicinity. Mine hardwires my tv, receiver, and PS4, and also increases the signal strength of the wifi for all nearby units, so it's really worth it. This is the one I use.

I've been using the Netgear EX6200, which works great and isn't terribly expensive, but there are newer / better models available if you want to spend a bit more. http://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-range-extenders/

They have compact wall plug versions (which I've tried and work fine), or standalone units (which i prefer since you can position them however you like for better performance)

Netgear is just my preference, you can find some others from other brands but I have no personal experience with others so I can't recommend any.

Oh okay something like this would work for me?

Everyone should do their research prior to purchase. I've purchased powerline adapters blindly before thinking it's the perfect solution and turns out that my house being older lacks the proper wiring for these adapters to function.

Another option I would recommend to those in need of better connection where Ethernet isn't an option is to use an extender such as this if you have a 5ghz wifi channel on your router. You can use it to receive and extend full internet speeds in 5ghz to my experience without any noticeable ping loss opposed to using normal wifi with good signal and it also doubles as an Ethernet adapter for devices that lack 5ghz compatibility and that you prefer to wire (I use the adapter to Ethernet option for my systems because I get consistent speeds through this)

Typically the easiest thing to do is use a range extender. I use a Netgear EX6200 There are less expensive ones, but you want to extend range and speed, so don't buy a very cheap one.

Another easy option is a powerline adapter and a wireless acess point (AP). Just about any router has an AP mode, it's just a software setting. Even a $35 Netgear router from WalMart will work fine as an AP.

Router->ethernet to adapter->AC wall outlet->2nd adapter, ethernt to AP.

Or what about this? and stick it into a weather box.

Ah... Some options include:

• hire a low-voltage electrician to install a couple home runs of Cat 6 Ethernet for about $100 labor
  
  
• buy a 5.0Ghz Wi-Fi to Ethernet bridge ("extender"), like the Netgear EX6200 for $85 or the EX7000 for $125.
  
  
• use your existing in-wall coaxial cable for Ethernet transmission, using MoCA, like the Actiontec adapter for $120
