Is that the FCC and other governments limit the power so when it comes to power, most routers are already at the max power. Folk new to routers often ask so I thought I'd share why changing routers barely helps.
Did you try a powerline set like this one?

Hello,
I'm looking for some kind of setup so the wifi can get through all of my flat with a pretty good signal coverage.
This is my houseplant:

I have the router provided by the company in the Living room. It's 300mbps using ac (5ghz) and it's giving around 150mbps using 2.4ghz. I'm all the way up in room 4 (the corridor is about 12m long) and the living room's wifi barely gets here, only the 2,4ghz one though. I have an socketplug extender in bath2 which does help a bit, giving the room a not-so-solid connection of 10mbps.
There is no socketplugs on the corridor.
The thing is while this is fair to actually use it and stream movies, my ps4 barely gets the signal, and when it does it's of about 400kbps.
I wanted to know, if I buy a more powerful router for the living room that covers all the flat, or even to give the extender a better signal. Or is there something else I could try? I didn't want to spend much money on it, about 100 maximum.
The router from the company is an Askey rtf3505vw; and the extender is a TP-Link WA854RE.
Any ideas or good routers I can buy that help in this situation?
Thank you!
