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...
1) you mean use another 3700 [the 'AP']
I guess I could use something cheaper with 2.4GHz N and some wired ports ?
whatever you want to if you are planning to use same SSID, use same model or would be good
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 ?

did you look... I will let you figure out ...
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).....
SAME SSID, SAME CHANNEL, SAME ENCRYPTION for using 2 of 3700
roaming is based on how wifi devices can change. router has less to do with roaming...
4) any special settings in the remote routers setup - apart from disabling DCHP ?
just follow
