Thanks so much bill, this is great info. 1 - I do need ethernet connections on the BSPR router so I'll configure it as an access point, but use the ethernet ports as well. 2 - I had thought access points were just extensions of your main router (even if they were technically routers before...

Ok, this is mostly crystal clear, thanks so much for taking the time to put together such a detailed response. I've also watched a few YouTube vids before reading this so this confirms my understanding, and actually extends it in a few ways that were not covered by the videos. My setup is my...

Thanks Bill, If I understand correctly, I think we have a modem and also a router from the cable company, Rogers, but I have to admit I'm not sure how I would tell the difference between a router and a modem, so I'm not sure. If a router is a device that takes signal from a modem, via...

Can anyone here kindly recommend the cheapest reliable option for one or two WAPs based on the below? I am going to be in a double walled, soundproof room (with soundproofing insulation) that is 11 x 13 feet and will need internet there, INCLUDING a wired connection So I'm picturing the...

Yeah I'm definitely in favour of running an ethernet downstairs. As I've seen him build the room from scratch, I'm sure running a cable into it will be small potatoes for him. I think this is the route we'll go, thanks!

This is a great start - thanks - much appreciated! To be honest, I expect this to be the hardest part (as I probably understand drilling through walls and ceilings a bit more than I do routers and wifi setups) but this makes it seem pretty easy, thank!

Thanks! I don't have coaxial cable downstairs, no, but there is one in the living room, yes. I will look up MOCA adapters to see if that can work on our Rogers (Toronto, Canada) network. As far as routers, would something as simple as this be good enough for a 100MB network...

Awesome Fret, thank you! Would a standard YouTube search bring me up to speed on setting up a router as an access point? Thanks!

So this is an easy question from a technically minded person who knows very little about wifi. Thanks in advance for your suggestions and help. We have a modem in the living room on the main floor We have a double walled, soundproof room in the basement that needs wifi (newly built room) We...
