    wiring up new flat with two wireless routers for more coverage

    i don't plan on going as far as doing modded/DIY AP's or extra gain antennas. However in my existing smaller flat, I already run into issues of Wifi signal in certain rooms, and I highly suspect it is due to the concrete walls. In the new place the bedroom and living room are even further...

    wiring up new flat with two wireless routers for more coverage

    Problem is my living room is on one end, and the study on the opposite end of the flat. These are the two best locations for wiring up the routers. Can't find a good location centrally to wire one router though. Thanks, I'll think about these ideas. One last question (i swear!) - is there...

    wiring up new flat with two wireless routers for more coverage

    I think I'll get ethernet across the flat first but try with one router. If the coverage is poor I'll get the second one. I am in Hong Kong. Can you go into a bit more detail why I should get 2-3 ethernet connections from the living room to the study? Are you saying cable modem in living...

    wiring up new flat with two wireless routers for more coverage

    Thanks that's quite informative. Where I live the flats have lots of concrete walls and my wifi has trouble getting through. Currently running an apple AirPort Extreme (latest 802.11ac version) and both 2.4ghz and 5ghz signals have trouble reaching the ends of the smaller flat I'm in now. My...

    wiring up new flat with two wireless routers for more coverage

    I want to setup my new flat with two routers, connected via gigabit ethernet, to increase wifi coverage. I'm currently undecided between two Asus AC68U's, or two Netgear R7000's. I just have a few questions on how to wire the routers once I get them. My cable modem enters the flat in the...
