In my previous residence, the wireless setup was simple...Netgear N300 dual-band router with the WAN side connected to the cable modem. The place was small enough to have good coverage throughout.
The new place presents some twists, and I appreciate advice on how to proceed.
First, I switched to DSL, and the modem includes a G router.
The office with the modem is on one end of the house. A TV where I want video streaming is on the other end of the house. The G wireless has a weak signal at the TV.
I also have a basement, and plan to put the NAS and my "server" down there. These are wired PC's, and my idea was to buy a wireless bridge.
The stairway to the basement is half-way through the house. One idea is to put a repeater there, to get a stronger signal to both the basement and TV.
Am I on the right track here?
Other ideas?
Is there a way to re-use the N300 in this scheme, etc?
