Network Extension
Hey, I switched providers and the ISP unfortunately had to install the jack in the back of my house. I need to increase the range of my network. I currently have: Powerline Adapater: Tenda P...
Oh oyu can of course keep your router - just disable it's wireless radios.
Setting up a network as you suggested would be optimum. I glossed over a major detail. We are currently renting our house and the landlord will not let me add more holes to the walls. The powerline adapter I currently have was a solution to a problem I had previously -- getting internet to the rear of the house where the guest bedroom is - at that time, I pitched running an ethernet cable to that room. That same bedroom is where the ISP installed the new jack.
That patwork solution I have now the router connected to the Jack in the back room. The router then plugs to a powerline adapter. The adapter's twin is in the front living room. And from there I can hardline my work computer in. But that doesn't solve for having a wireless signal in the front of the house.
Thoughts?
