“Would connection through a floor be an issue? My computer in my room typically has poor connection to the router, and occasionally, the connection drops. I was thinking about getting a WiFi booster for my room, which has a floor in between it and the router. First of all, would this solve the problem? Also, would the floor interfere with the connection to the booster?”

It will solve the problem and no the floor won't interfere just make sure to plug the device in your room
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Absolutely. I replaced my cheapo TP-Link extender ($19.99) with this Netgear extender for $42 and I'm VERY SATISFIED. I have a Roku 4 that can output 4K to my Sharp 70" 4K TV and have the Fios Quantum Gatway router from Verizon and my Internet speed is 50/50 Mbps. Unfortunately my router is upstairs and the Roku 4 and TV are in the basement so I could only get about 12 Mbps over WiFi from the Roku 4 in the basement (4K needs about 15 Mbps). So, I set up this Netgear extender, ran an Ethernet cable from the extender to the Roku 4 and now I'm getting about 30 Mbps in the basement and the 4K signal looks AMAZING on my TV. The difference between 4K and 1080p on a large TV (60"+) is noticeable and I have to say House of Cards streamed through Netflix in 4K looks even better than it does on Blu-ray with my PS4. I highly recommend this extender, but use with Ethernet cable for best results when streaming.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I think a range extender would work if you plug it in the hall outside the room, probably won't help if you put it in the room where the signal is already weak. It needs to be located where the signs is still good.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Should work fine
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I believe it will. My extender is on a different floor and in a separate building from the main router.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not a problem. Get the Netgear Wi-Fi Range Extender. It will work for you.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You need to put the extender between you and the router. I like being outside with my laptop and had horrible signal. I got a netgear extender and life is fine. 5 bars.
