To be honest, I don't know whether I need an AP, Range extender, or another router. I hope I explain this correctly. My current setup is a WNDR4000. That's it. Works well but doesn't cever my entire house. I have the 4000 cabled to my cable modem for internet service and all devices connect to the unit wirelessly. I have just freed up a cat5 that, conveniently, runs from within 10' of my cable modem to the extreme end of my house. This gave me the idea of using a 2nd Netgear device to allow wifi coverage for my entire house. I have read articles and searched Netgear.com but can't find the answer. Would I be better off to attach a 2nd router to the 'freed' cable and get complete wifi coverage, use a range extender, or connect an AP?
Ah, but the cat5 runs from near the current cable modem/router to a near-perfect spot on the other end of the house. Thus, I can connect (cable) any device I want. What I need to know is which would give the best signal/benefit.
