Ok, so my parents want me to redo the wireless in their house. When they moved in they had wireless setup, but every room is cat5 pre wired. I told them it is a waste of money that they wernt using the wired LAN built into the house.
Now my dad is fed up with having to find a cable to check his email at night. Silly corporate exec's ALWAYS need to be on their email.
The setup:
All the rooms are wired and join in a common mechanical room on the lower level, so they had a CATV line installed in there to get the modems to work. There are a total of 7 outlets throughout the house, so the router will have to have 7+1(internet) ports on the router.
When they first moved in the wireless was this: Main router in the lower level and one acess point upstairs. The signals were horrific if you were upstairs, that is how i talked him into going back to wired.
They have a new home here in CO and there is a lot of steel in the house for the size that it is.
I was thinging of doing the Linksys http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833124010
The same one i use at my apt, so might be a bit easier for me to understand to setup. Mine has the speed booster thing built into it also.
Should we do 2 access points upstairs then? I am not to familiar with access points, what should i get that would work well?
Please give me some input.
Thanks.
