Hi All,
I work for a small company with about 25 people in one office. We actually have the basement of an offie building, and we're now growing to also inhabit the space above. I get assigned to be the network guy at the office... Right now our basic setup is an Asus AC3200 router downstairs hooked up to a Comcast modem. We also have a set of AV500 powerline adapters so we can have a network phone in our primary conference room.
We have grown to expand into the floor above, which doesn't get a great wireless signal. My initial thought was to switch to AV2 1200 products and put one upstairs and run an access point to it. I tried the AV500 adapter first, to make sure I could get a signal - nope. They must be on completely different "lines" or whatever, when it comes to power. Powerline networking won't work to connect the two floors. I thought there was one corner of the office where I could put a wifi extender, but that doesn't seem to work either.
Other than drilling holes and wiring ethernet, does anyone have any suggestions for a good way to get wireless access going upstairs? Thanks!
