Topology question
Hi, So I have a WNDR3700 in my basement office next to the modem in one corner of the home. My home is wired with Cat6 to most rooms which is great for TV's, XBOX, my main PC and where reliability is...

I would say install 2nd AP wired at remote area
Just so I'm clear...
1) you mean use another 3700 [the 'AP']
I guess I could use something cheaper with 2.4GHz N and some wired ports ?
Any suggestions of such a Netgear device ? (the 5GHz seems so range limited - at least where I have it located now).
2) does the wire into the remote 3700 go into one of the four 'Ethernet' ports (per the link you gave) rather than the 'internet' port ?
3) I can setup same SSID on both 3700's, with different channels and in theory roam around streaming video transferring back and forth between each 3700 without hiccups (in theory).....
4) any special settings in the remote routers setup - apart from disabling DCHP ?
PS I still like the idea of using the simple switch...
Cheers Again
