I don't know if this the right place to put this question, if so, I would appreciate being directed to the right forum.
My wife has her office downstairs; my office, with a Mac Time Machine as the wireless router, is upstairs. Because she was having problems with dropped connections to the wireless router, I hooked up a couple of powerline using products, Netgear XVA101s. They work ok, but she does not like the tethered connection.
So my question is, is it possible to take the ethernet net cable that is currently running from the Netgear access point, and hook it up to another router or wireless repeater, so that she can work wirelessly, without being hooked up to a cable?
Will appreciate any help, but please keep in mind that I know very little about these kinds of hookups, ect. All we need is a decent connection for email, working with photos, general 'net surfing, ect. We do not play games, watch HD movies, or anything like that.
Thanks
