I could be posting more if I had a robust internet connection in my bedroom, so I'm looking to solve that problem. I live in an urban area so the pipes are phat enough, but the bedroom is on the opposite corner of the house from the wifi router. The resulting signal is too weak, even for just audio. I don't have a phone plan with unlimited data, and unfortunately have been overspending my budget the past couple of months after finding GWA. :anime_sweatdrop: So right now I've been limiting my internet use, and thus interacting with audio less. I assume that you all are as unhappy about this as I am.

So, can I get advice on what to try? Should I upgrade the wifi router? (It's probably 5 years old.) Should I get a repeater/signal booster? Should I try to fucking rewire the house to put the router somewhere other than that far corner? Should I update my mobile data plan to unlimited and stick to tethering? (Verizon) Should I be paranoid about privacy/security and get a cheap burner phone and do everything Voxy/GWA through that? (cheap unlimited data in exchange for horrible coverage, but I just need it to work in the bedroom, and see above re urban area...)

Those are the ideas that I've come up with so far, but I'm aware I'm not an expert at any of this. However, I'm lucky enough to have subscribers here on reddit. ;) Anyone have experienced/knowledgeable thoughts?

My comment replies may be slow, for obvious reasons. Thank you for the help though. 💖
