Wi-Fi

I have cable internet and one modem with wireless router connected to it. It is in my sons room for his gaming. My computer is 2 floors away and Wi-Fi signal is week. There is a cable for modem near my computer but my internet company won't allow 2 modems. Wi-Fi extender works a bit but not good enough. What can I do?

There are "range extenders" you can get at most stores that sell computer equipment. I have even seen some that use the current wiring in the building to extend the range. Going through multiple walls and floors really kills a signal. If the extender does not work consider moving the wi-fi router/modem to a middle point in the house.
