I need an internet booster due to the router being in my brothers room and i am having to move it there to play online.
I am wanting it in the lounge room to play on big screen and online, so if i could get a internet booster then that would be great.

Anyone have or know where i could get one?

I wonder if i could make the before one...
if its in my bed room and gets 50% and then when it gets in my loungeroom which is a bit further away from my router, which gets 25%, what do you think it will rise to?

i am not really good with internet and stuff but is the thing you create above a wi-fi booster or is it the same to get the internet better?

wrapping tin foil around your modem/router works too. Don't wrap it around the antenna though. It worked when I used to be with Unwired Internet

a wireless repeater is a device you put on the opposite side of your house which takes the weak router signal and makes it stronger. A bridge does the same thing but outputs the signal into ethernet.
