1394362 2015-02-13 01:07:00 Finally getting our 60s house wired with network cabling in every room. The guys are putting a WAP point up high in the top floor but now what do I do?

I have to buy something to project the wireless signal - what should I buy and where?

If the modem we currently use to generate wireless signal is generating the signal is that bad?

Thanks

1394363 2015-02-13 01:56:00 Depends on how you want to set it up.

Generally the Router will have a cable running to the access Point, the cable can be up-to 100Mtrs long.

ALL the cables in the house/walls should end up in the same place so they can be plugged into a router/switch or patch panel.
See this site/picture superuser.com

The other way is to have the Routers Wireless sending out a signal and the Access point picks that up in a repeater mode.

The disadvantage of using as a repeater, its more fiddly to setup & unreliable, the signals have to be able to cross over, so if you have to go through walls, floors etc the signal strength will be cut down.
