Since getting it though I went from one phone bar in my house to having full bars and my Wifi is much stronger.
That's pretty awesome. I don't know why they don't just build it into the routers?

depends on whether the issue is actually signal strength - if you live in a city I'd guess your issue is more likely congestion on 2.4ghz
download inssider or a similar wlan scanner on your phone to see how many access points are nearby and what channels they're on, change yours to avoid... or just set up 5.4ghz, less people use it and it's far less prone to interference by design. it doesn't penetrate walls as far either, which could be good or bad
Well I know this one that's called "Big Face" this is a very serious thing because <sic> its job is to make you an offer to sell your soul outright to the devil. So you could be around a perimeter messing around with certain things with witchcraft and voodoo <sic> but they want you in wholeheartedly. All the way in they don't want you to just be playing around they want you to be all the way in and they'll send certain spirits out there to do it. And this was one of those spirits and they'll say 'come into the closet' and I (RestStop) went into the closet and it told me shut the door and it says 'join us'. Join us give us your whole self. And I said 'how in the world can I give you my whole self?' because I was a child I didn't know how to give them my whole self. And he said, 'say these words and than you can join us full fledged all the way' and when he said that all the clothes disappeared. Clothes in the closet disappeared, the shirts disappeared, the shoes, everything disappeared in this closet became as if I was standing out in space with the stars. There was no floor <sic> and there I myself and that spirit face-to-face. He said, 'if you give your whole self we will give you power, you'll have money, you'll have all the girls in the neighborhood plus, you'll have so much power that the politicians will respect you.
The government will respect you and you'll be able to go through walls, you'll be able to go into the bank and take all the money you want and come right back through the wall all you have to do is say yes. Give your self to us totally. That thing you heard was God and he's no good, he can't help you anyway, if he could have he would have stopped us long ago so's that's showing you if you give your soul to us he'll take care of you.' And I stood there face-to-face with that thing and it seemed like I heard another voice--a teeny tiny little voice about the size of an ant almost--it said, 'Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't say yes.' I didn't know who that voice was but I never heard it before. <sic> And that big face-thing, that big ugly spirit-face it showed me a vision of money and power and all of these different things but that vocie said '...don't do it.' I said, 'no, I'm not doing this. No thank you I'm going to stay the way I am. I'm not coming here to get into this like you're talking about.' And he started screaming, 'Why! Why! Come do it! He'll give you everything you want!' And I said, 'No.'
When I said no the floor came back, the clothes in the closet came back, I opened that closet door and said, 'By God, what is going on here?' and I never listened to that thing again. Because <sic> if you say yes you sign a ten year contract or a twenty year contract in an agreement with them. You'll be like most people you see who's getting involved with it [and] after ten years (or twenty years) they'll come get you <sic> and they kill you on that year. I can name people I know of who did what that thing invited me to do: they got the richest fast, they got famous on television, they became famous rockstars, they became actors and actresses and after that ten (or twenty) year contract they die right in that same month, day, week and second that they signed off.

I'll check that out. If 5.4ghz is not good for walls though it wouldn't be good for me.
I'm certain the issue is signal strength because the desktop has no issues.
