Every wireless router has its limits. The wireless signals are greatly affected by surroundings like walls, furniture and other things. Signals degrade when they go through such things adversely affecting their range. If you have a large place and just one router, it is possible that your router may not be able to cover all of your place which will lead to connection drops and slowdowns at some parts of your place. You can avoid that by using a wireless repeater to repeat your wireless signals. What they do is that they receive the signals from your router and reconstruct them again which greatly increase the range of the network. You can even turn your old router into a wireless repeater easily and D-Link Support will guide you on how to setting up D-link wireless router as extender/repeater, do it in this article.
