So I found a quick, easy and inexpensive fix for some internet issues - weak signal and some dead area a tp-link nano router ($27.32 Amazon). Works in hotels so you can connect more than the specified number of devices and do it with privacy (wireless to wireless or wired). It's tiny and so light I actually thought that they'd left out the innards. It was so easy to set up I didn't think it had happened. I had to set my iPad to 'never' sleep otherwise I had to keep logging back in but that's been the only issue for me so far. It is designed for a small area.
