With a wifi booster/repeater, will I gain any speed, or just extend the range? The reason I ask is that at the home theater room there is a signal, but it's weak. However, at times I "think" we are maxing out the bandwidth with netflix streaming etc.
Your network will run at the speed of the slowest device.

What are you using to stream with in the media room?

Netflix has tiered streaming, meaning it will provide a stream from 1.5 mbps up to 8 mbps depending on what your configuration is.

What bandwidth are you paying for, getting with TW? I think their basic is up to 10 mbps, key words being "up to".

Have you ever run any speed tests at home to see what you might be getting?
