Components to create a wired ethernet network with a wireless cess point at a different location from the router.

[aletgolts]

My house is wired for Ethernet with Cat6 cable all ran from a room under the staircase. Currently the cable modem and a 4 port Wi Fi router are under the stair case as well. I would like to move the router upstairs to use as a wireless access point and a switch for better coverage. I am having difficult time finding an 8 port gigabit wired router (no Wi Fi) to use downstairs. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Get a gigabit switch and a separate router.

There's nothing wrong with having multiple WAPs in a house.

Thanks Someone.
This was going to be my next option. I do have a switch in each room. Are there any problems with connecting switches to switches? Any recommendations on the router for the set up you suggested?

Thanks
