I am now with Zuku Internet (Turbo 4).

I have an issue with the Cisco Router they gave me. Signal is very
weak as I can't pass 30 feet (wall or no wall); as soon as I exceed 30
ft, I get a 0 RSSI !!

Q1/ Is it just me or is Cisco Router given by Zuku "taka taka"

With Access Kenya's Alavrion router, I was getting a strong signal
both upstair and downstair (I stay in a duplex appartment)...But
Zuku's technician told me he can do nothing with the Alvarion because
it is not compatible with Zuku's router ?

Q2/ Is it true that Alvarion's router can not be set up as an access
point or repeater of Cisco router ?

Q3/ Then, what would be my option to get full coverage upstair and
downstair. Looking for a cheap option. Technician told me I need to
buy another Linksys Wireless-G router ?


Buy something like Ubiquity "Power AP N". Will cost you about 10k, but you'll have the signal both down- and up-stairs
and upto 100m away. This is a more cost-effective way than, IMHO, getting a Linksys (6k) which may still require you to get some Powerline adapters (8) to connect both floors.
You could replace the Zuku Cisco with the Power AP N, but I think they may not allow that if they need to manage the Cisco upstream.
