I'm a geek. But when it comes to networking, I guess I'm a little lazy / uninformed. I have a 3900 square foot two story house. I ran ethernet to most of the rooms. But, I also want wifi throughout. So, I had several old routers laying around and just plugged them in at various locations throughout the house. So, now I have several "different networks" in my house (does that make sense?). Multiple SSID's maybe is the right way to say it? Not sure. Anyway, what is the best way to get solid wifi coverage throughout my house. I don't believe what I'm doing is the right way to go about it. I would like the fastest wifi available and a strong signal everywhere. Most of my old routers are probably "g". They are old. Do I need to get one main router and then an AP or two? Sorry for the noob questions. Oh, just a little background. I have U-Verse and live at the very end of the line in my brand new neighborhood in North Texas. So, when the guy installed my connection, he told me it was basically the worst connection in the neighborhood and likely wouldn't support anything but internet (he recommended that I not even try to add television). I'm a cord cutter so I don't care about television. Thanks for any advice. I appreciate your time.
