How to create a Wireless Bridge

[Guest]

Hello!

I was wanting to setup a wireless bridge in my house. I was talking with someone on this forum and they said that a wireless bridge is more effective than a power line, which is what I have installed now. What would I need to setup it up? I have a modem and a router, do I need another router?

Thanks for the help!

1. It is NOT necessarily better than powerline.
House construction, house wiring, how many users, what the users are doing...all come into play.

2. Yes, you'd need another router. And bridging wireless is NOT as effective as setting up another WiFi access point. connected via ethernet cable

So, in your opinion, what would be best for getting a stronger connection in a two story house?. Particularly upstairs, which is where my room is located.

The best option is creative, color matched ethernet cable from the router to upstairs.
Done right, nearly invisible.

After that, it depends on the house construction.
I'd try powerline first. WiFi may show overall speed the same, but the powerline would be more stable and consistent.

Ok, I will look into that, thanks for the help!
