Good advice. I don't know what you house construction is like Jim, but older, thicker walls can play havoc with WIFI.

Even though I live in a 1960s house with walls apparently made of balsa wood I've got almost the exact setup Mark describes, just an older version of that kit and with only one secondary.
In my case the main BT router is at the front of the house and the secondary WIFI unit at the back, serving also the patio and much of the back garden.

I've set mine up so that the secondary is actually a different name. The only things that causes confusion with are iPhones as I wander around. Sometimes they just sort of give up and revert to 4G until I give their WIFI settings a prod.

And yes I do have turn power cycle mine occasionally.
