To be clear I was not suggesting replace Router with Router, but the WNDA3100v2 access point with a Router switched to be an AP only.

In other words, a wifi extender. Most new netgear routers include an extender/bridging mode, you can also buy devices that only work as extenders. Either way you will have better antennas and probably more power than your dongle.

Re the use of powerlines, I considered these years ago, but I have many socket extensions and multiple fuse boxes (5) in the house. I also have at least 5 suppression extension sockets for IT equipment. I am led to believe that all of these MAY 'dilute' and/or 'interfere' with any signal on the mains. So I currently think it is not a goer.

I think you need to try something, though it might have some risk of failure. Multiple fuse boxes are an issue, ideally the two adapters would be connected to the same fusebox. Then connect the AP to the in-house adapter. The IT sockets won't be a problem if you aren't connecting the powerline adapters into them. Powerline noise can be a problem, so you should look for an adapter pair that has built-in powerline filters. Maybe try this: http://www.netgear.co.uk/home/products/ ... P1200.aspx

Are there raid parity blocks on RAID10 as I thought it was mirrored with both mirrors being written in parallel?

It is mirrored, I forgot you were running raid-10.
