Hi,
I have a UK 4 bed detached house about 200sq meters. My BT Infinity router are in the internal access garage with my NAS in a rack and I have CAT6 from there to around the house. My main issue is that I get no WIFI coverage through 90% of the house.
I currently use a Netgear Nighthawk 7000 as a access point connected via CAT6 which gives me about 70% coverage. The idea was that I could use the Netgear as my router with the BT unit as modem due to other issues with the BT unit.
I was wondering if it would be better to buy say two access points for the house and use the Nighthawk 7000 as a router only (four boxes!) or is there some sort of external antenna that I could install in the middle of the house (say the downstairs hall) that I could wire through the ceiling to one of the antenna connections of the Nighthawk? Ideally it would be something that looked like a smoke alarm etc and would be powerful enough for the whole house and garden.
I would really appreciate any thoughts
Thanks
