I know someone who wants to cover their entire home with wireless access, and wants to do it from *upstairs* (in a home with 2 levels as well as a basement..[3 levels?]) because they want guaranteed connectivity to their kids xbox360. he has leukemia, they dont want to lose the connection on it ever.
ive read a number of threads here where suggestions were made to use a couple of wireless routers, one with dd-wrt, and make a wireless bridge. i suggested to them this may be a possibility.
but im wondering how *Well* its would work, and would appreciate some input from people who have done this 🙂
they want the main internet connection and router upstairs by the xbox, need wireless access to the floor below, and into the basement.
i was wondering if a couple of buffalo routers could handle this. flashing it to dd-wrt is no problem, as ive done this with my own. im just concerned about the range/reliability factor.
can i use a buffalo WHR-HP upstairs, and turn one in the basement into a wireless bridge and cover the home pretty reliably? i would think so, and almost think just the HP alone would cover the place, but i dont have enough experience with wireless in bi-level homes to be sure, and the experience i *do* have has the router in a central location on the ground floor.
anyone faced a similar situation?
