Wifi signal loss can depend on the type of house or condo you have. If there are heater forced air ducts in a wall going upstairs or some water pipes or ???? the signal can be blocked. In out house I have a new ATT box for internet going to an Asus router with 6 little poles sticking up and still have issues further than 20 feet. I finally added an "Access Point" in the living room with cat 6 cable. Then there are signal boosters (3 total as follows) one right under the ring door bell, one at the top of the stairs and finally one in our bedroom. All are named sequentially and password protected. They provide wifi in the middle and upper levels, all that is missing is the signal in the garage/machine shop.

The master tech at my computer store helped me figure it out and said to make sure all the extenders/boosters/access point(s) are seen from the mail admin screen of the Asus router. That way with the proper password the connection goes back to it.

Years ago I bought a RJ11 and RJ45 cable tester at Fry's for like $9 and it is great. It showed when the cable to the main flat screen in the living room got a bad cable connection needing new connectors, easy fix!
