Right now I live in condominium where in I just connect my pc to my main router/modem via ethernet since it is just in the next room. Everyone else just connects via WIFI, so were not really having any issues with internet since everyone is so close to the router as its a pretty cramped condominium. I am gonna be moving to a new house around next year and I am just planning on how to bring internet around the house since it will be a 3 storey house and primarily made out of concrete which WIFI will have trouble penetrating.
The first and second floor just needs good WIFI they wont be doing any internet intensive tasks much.
But on the third floor, I need to bring ethernet to 2 rooms, both will have a pc that will be mostly used for gaming so ethernet would be ideal. WIFI is also a requirement on the third floor (specifically the two rooms)
I was thinking of putting the main router (most likely ISP's router) on the ground floor and put extra routers on the 2nd and 3rd floors that will act like range extenders I guess. however I doubt a single router will be strong enough to bring good WIFI signal to a whole floor because of all the concrete walls it has to go through, and it might be very messy because of all the cables.
Im not very good with networking stuff with all this stuff like range extenders, powerline, access points, PoE. confuses the heck out of me
Comments and other inputs on how to set up my internet more effectively are welcome!
