   You also use those apps to determine if you need to put in a second   
   router. I have a Wi-FI router in an upstairs closet with my cable modem,   
   but the signal was not strong enough downstairs. I ended up running some   
   CAT 6 cable through the upstairs attic then through the downstairs attic   
   to second Wi-Fi router that serves downstairs. Of course I'm in Silicon   
   Valley where most of my neighbors are engineers and know how to do all   
   this themselves.
