Repeating or power ethernet
Hi,
I currently have a couple of WRT54G units operating in a repeater mode to ensure I have reasonable signal strength at both ends of my house and into the backyard. I am planning on going to N with my devices and wondering if I should continue to use repeating through a couple of Netgear WNDR 3700s, or consider Powerline Ethernet as the link two units.
Any advantages or disadvatages to either approach? Also I assume that if I went with Powerline Ethernet I could use dissimilar N routers like a WNDR 3700 and Cisco E3000. Correct?
Thanks,
Jerry
PS. After reading Tim's article maybe MOCA is a better choice? I have coax within 2 feet of where I plan to install the routers.
