Setting Up A 2 Router Wireless Network Created 15 years ago2008-12-01 01:11:39 UTC by TawnosPrime

OK, so what's going on is that I'm moving my systems up to my room, 2 floors up from my wireless router and though it's an N router, the Wii/PS3 use G and I'm not spending another f****n $100 so my X360 can have a feature that it should have had in the first place.

Regardless, my previous experience w/ a G network was that at that distance, I got a very poor signal and wanted to set up something stronger. Unfortunately, there is no way to run an ethernet up to my room, so I want to set up a second N router in my room and have the two routers communicate to each other.

What I was wondering is how stable that connection will be (will I drop a lot or not) and what hardware I will need (if it's just a standard pair of routers or if I need something special)?

Mmmm,.....sounds like you could use a "Wireless Range Extender". The TRENDnet TEW-637AP 300Mbps Wireless Easy-N-Upgrader is a good example of this:You can read more on it here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833156232

Also, there is this other little type of gadget known as a "Powerline Ethernet Adapters". To make a long story short, It turns any electrical power outlet into a high speed Internet and home network connection. The XAVB101 from Netgear is a device just like this, you can check it out here:
