Wifi not reaching to back of 700sq foot house. Best option?
What would be the best way to go about getting internet into the back of my (very small) home? Unfortunately, the only spot for our router is in the front corner of our living room and the wifi goes through an entire wall of appliances in a home built pre 1940/50, so not sure what type of piping and insulation is also potentially causing problems with the signal reaching the back of the house. I have a coax cable in one bedroom, but not the other which is my office, and the one I need internet in. I don't feel like it's worth it (and I don't feel like I should need) an extender for such a small home when the router is probably 50 feet from where the signal is cutting out and VERY slow in the office. Is it possible for Xfinity to move my exterior cable line? Or can I have the coax moved? Also important to note that the coax is not in an outlet, it's wired up from where the baseboard sits and can be pulled through.

Hello @crbarry! Thank you so much for getting us in the loop for this. We greatly appreciate all of your time and patience! I have a home that was built in that same era with a masonry construction. The biggest thing with the unknown variables is that it can be a gamble in either direction. For me the most viable solution was a baseboard run of ethernet to the separate connection point I was needing on the flip side of my home. If wireless is the primary goal, I would absolutely advise a WiFi extender. The xFi pods are one of the most functional and cost effective solutions out there when it comes to building that bridge in connection points. I included a great link here below that you can explore the pods.
