I recently bought a wifi extender to reach my new desktop up on the top floor in my room from the basement 2 floors down. It works fine except sometimes it just disconnects from the internet entirely. What's weird is that it'll show I'm still connected to the extender but it just says that internet access is unavailable as if it just decided to turn off. When it goes off I check both the extender and the router and they both are fine, all greens lit. Any help would be appreciated.
Answer
You don't mention what frequency range you are in. If it's 2.4 (g or n) you may be experienceing interference from a household device like a microwave, cordless phone or baby monitor.
The signal will still be strong but the interference will scramble the packets and the encryption will fail.

As soon as I go into my bedroom, I lose wifi connection on my iphone but it connects perfectly on my laptop. What's going on?
Answer
Different WiFi devices vary in wireless range and performance.
Wireless signals are affected by many factors including distance, wall density, electrical interference, directional antenna range, etc.
All of these factors will affect your actual wireless range. As wireless connection quality varies the connection speeds are renegotiated. The WLAN connection between your WiFi device and your wireless router may start at 150 Mbps and end up at less than 10 Mbps or drop entirely.
High performance routers generally have a much better wireless range than their cheaper competitors.
However, Just because a particular wireless router model works good at one location does not guarantee that it will have similar performance in a different location due to variances in the factors listed above.
You should try to centrally locate your wireless router or gateway up high and away from dense walls and electrical and 2.4 GHz wireless interference such as microwave ovens, cordless phones, baby monitors, etc.
You could also try adjusting the position of the router or relocating your device closer to the wireless router to obtain a stronger signal.
If you still have a weak wireless signal you can either get a wireless extender or a wireless adapter with better range for your WiFi device.
For a iPhone you cant replace the wireless adapter like you can on a laptop, so you'll need a stronger WiFi signal.
Devices such as wireless extenders can expand your wireless range. The wireless range extender receives weak wireless signals and repeats them to extend the signal range to greater distances.
Here are the two most popular highly rated models on Amazon.
