I've recently moved to a shared house and am trying to work out the best way to build my own network that connects to my landlords Sky BB router.
I've got an Asus RT-N56U which I used to use as my own AP, but in my new place it isnt possible to run a wire. I have a couple of games consoles and a NAS that I need to connect.
The Sky router is a Sagemcom model which doesn't seem to support WDS or any other form of bridging between the two routers.
I've got two options in my mind of how to connect my Asus to the Sky router. Either by buying a 3rd AP to act as a wireless client, or using power-line adapters.
Powerline: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004INVKP4/?tag=smallncom-21
2nd AP: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0043RTF9I/?tag=smallncom-21
I'm trying to keep costs as low as possible as this might only be a solution needed for a few months. Running a cable really isnt an option (I asked and everything).
At the moment I am leaning toward the power line adapters, but would appreciate some advice. Speed isnt really an issue as I will probably run the asus as separate wireless network. If there is any way to configure the Asus to let my wired devices connect to the wireless without an extra purchase that would be ideal.
Thanks in advance.
