Will that router work the same as an access point (similar to what I and Wainui linked to above)? Plug it into a spare Ethernet wall point at the other end of the house, set it up and then it extends my wireless network to that end of the house? Yes :) Especially if you flash something like Gargoyle firmware, it makes it incredibly simply to get it setup like you're wanting (Guide on my blog). I don't really get what you're saying to be honest. Wireless is always going to be slower than Ethernet. Yeah Wireless is not only slower, but it's half-duplex (Can only send or receive) so if you're using something like a Wireless Repeater, where you'd see yourself connecting at, say, 54mbps, you'd never get anywhere near that. At absolute best you'd get around 18mbps. However, if you're using a repeater, it's likely because you're not in a "best case scenario", so where you'll see yourself connecting around 12mbps, you might only actually attain 2-4mbps	Chilling_Silence (9)
