Evening.
I install residential broadband for a well known UK ISP. There has been some debate between engineers regarding poor wireless signal in large/older houses.
Which solution would be the most suitable to extend the wireless range.
1) Setup a 2nd wireless router to act as a repeater station (master/slave)
or
2)Connect the 2 wireless routers using 200MBs Powerline adaptors to run Cat5e over the mains-ring in the house and setup the 2nd wireless router as a completely seperate AP (pointing to the 'master')
See http://www.shop.bt.com/ProductView....
for example of Powerline adaptors - NB engineers carry the 200MBs spec.
Pros & Cons - so far option 1 uses only 1 WEP key but relies on the wirless signal between repeaters being strong. Option 2 provides potentially better wireless coverage albeit with more equipment.
Anybody else have any other Pro's & Cons to each solution. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
