Questions about routers and LANs and sh*t.

2.4 dogs per liter sounds pretty high to me...

Man up.

OTOH, the dood with the .4 dick probably wouldn't be feeling to chippy about the whole thing.

Meh, he's probably French, so he's the hot dude everybody wants.

You might be able to pick up your neighbour's wireless network from your upstairs. Save on cost!

We will have one high speed modem at the new house. We will also have a repeater system that uses the household wiring. I want to make sure the WiFi is optimal on all floors. My thought is to put a repeater on the floors that don't have the modem and run it through a router to boost the WiFi. The desktops will be connected to the routers by LAN cables.

Is there any problem with this? /ignorant git

I used to do something similar, one wireless router in basement attached to cable modem, one wireless router upstairs. Upstairs router was configured as a wireless repeater paired to the basement router. If you had a lan port upstairs, you could plug the upstairs router into it and the two routers would be connected via wire instead of wireless.

Two things to keep in mind. First, different models or hardware manufacturers may not play nice with each other. I'd recommend buying two identical routers, or a dedicated wireless repeater made for that model router. Second, bridging two wireless routers wirelessly cuts your wireless bandwidth in half.

A single router with good wireless range may be all you need.

I plan to put the router in tandem after the modem and hook that into the house wiring relay system I have. The second router will be on the other floor and the desktop PCs there will be LAN'd into the system rather than WiFi'd. But we still want the WiFi for Ayaan's tablet and such. Plus during a power outage the phone is still usually available, so we can connect even when the lights are off.

Do you have DSL and can get internet access from any phone drop you have? If not where is your cable modem. Have you actually wired your house with cat4?
What do you own now and what are you prepared to buy?

The ideal solution would be a wireless router upstairs on a separate wireless channel plugged into a network cable. Most routers come with 4 ports so you can plug stuff into it instead of connecting wirelessly too.

None of the above, we're looking to rent a place.

I wish I lived at your place. All my neighbours are bogans. Except for the Asian woman who prances about in the nude all the time.
