Hola friends and happy holidays.
My Brooklyn apartment is very loooong. Time Warners all in one router/modem/wifi reaches the front 40% of the apartment (TV room and my computer area + roku for the TV room) but we have a Roku in the back playroom (far back of the apartment) and Santa is bringing a PS3. Plus I like to be able to check email from my bedroom which is way back there as well.
Right now I have a
Netgear Range Extender (which is adequate, but not amazing).
I did the measurements and it's going to be about 150 feet of CAT-6 to reach the back room from the main TWC router box. Right now the Netgear is okay, but if I was willing to run 150 ft of cable, could I set up a 2nd router of some kind back there to blast the whole area, really thoroughly?
Questions:
1) What's the best way to extend the range to cover the back half of the apartment with good wifi, reliably?
2) What product do you guys recommend for this task?
3) Where should I buy the cable?
Thanks!
AC
