Hello,
I'm looking for some advice as to the best way to do this. Let me set out what I have today and then what I'm looking for and I'm sure someone will be able to tell me what I need.
I have a BT Hub 3.0 connected downstairs from which I run a 25m cat 5e cable to a switch (Netgear GS308) upstairs. Connected to the switch by cable are:
Devices attached by cable are in my signature. I no longer have the wireless dongle for the Asus. There's also a print server to a HP 1320 laserjet. Any other devices connect wirelessly (ipad, phones etc.).
As the cable is left out in the open on the edge of the stairs and we're intending to put the house on the market, I want to remove the long cable run.
I'm looking for something that I'll have upstairs, that will connect wirelessly to the hub (I cannot move the hub as I have no phone connection upstairs in my office and am not intending to put one in) and to which I can connect the switch and continue to use things as they are. I'd rather not remove the print server as it can obviously be reached by any machine on the network at the moment.
Any thoughts? Not really sure on budget as I don't know what I need. The PC is used for WoW, EVE and the usual browsing and office stuff.
Thanks
