Hello guys, my dad is building a new house and we want the best wireless/cable coverage possible, its a 280m² = 3013.9ft² house , 2 floors. I have basically 3 options:
1) 2 routers , 1 downstairs , 1 upstairs , second router is connected with the first by LAN->LAN , extending both the wireless signal and cable signal.
Router 1 Location: corridor between the rooms.
Connections: ROOM1,ROOM2,ROOM3, and the other router upstairs.
Router 1 Location: corridor between TV ROOM and OFFICE.
Connections: OFFICE, TV ROOM,RECREATION AREA, and the other router downstairs.
2) 3 routers , 2 downstairs , 1 upstaris
I dont know if this setup will work , I dont know if I need to connect 2 routers with the first by LAN->LAN or if I can connect the second router by LAN->LAN with the first then the second router by LAN-LAN with the third.
3) 2 routers (set equal to option 1), 1 switch
With this config we can have ethernet points in all the house , like 1 in each room , but I dont know if 2 routers + 1 switch works fine , I never used a switch in my life, I think its the best option for cable coverage and good wireless signal , but its the most expensive too, I want to know if its a good option and if its works.
Below is the plant of the house with the option 1:
