Hi everyone
I was wondering if i could get some advice
I need to get wireless access on the top floor of my house, currently my linksys wireless router(WAG354G) is situated on the ground floor near the main bt phone socket. I have my main pc which is on the top floor connected to the router by a netgear homeplug. Because the house is very old the walls are very thick tested the wireless reception on the top floor with my laptop i get no signal.
So i was wondering what would be the best product to buy to get wireless access on the top floor. Should i get an access point or a wireless router (and use as a ap creating another ssid on a different channel from the wireless router on the ground floor)
I am fairly new to networking so i apologise if i have made any mistakes in my assumptions.
Any help greatly appreciated
