Hi All,

Just been thinking about ways of extending the Wi-Fi signal within the home.

I don't really want to use a Wi-Fi range extender as depending on signal you may need multiple extenders, and my experience with PowerLine adapters hasn't been very positive.

I was wondering if there was a way to run some Cat5e from the router down stairs up to an access point upstairs which would then broadcast the same SID without running into any problems?

Cheers

I take it the router you're running upstairs has the same DHCP subnet range?

e.g. Downstairs and Upstairs give out 192.168.1.x addresses?
