Thanks for the suggestions. I will give the Linksys a try. I had a read of the specs on the repeater function and is appears to effectively share the wifi bandwidth between incoming (devices to 2nd router) and outgoing (2nd router to original router) which results in lower bandwidth. So, although it's an attractive feature, I'm leaning towards cabling to *somewhere* downstairs (the layout of the house means that cabling all the way to the kitchen would be pretty hard) and then putting a Linksys there, which should provide coverage for the downstairs area.
I am also intrigued by the homeplug solution, but they seem pretty expensive here in Australia (over $300). I don't know how the homeplugs work technically: are the likely to differ from one country to another based on the different voltage/phasing (you can tell I don't know what I'm talking about!) of the power supply in each country? I suppose what I'm asking is, would a cheaper set bought online work in Australia? -- smc2911 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ smc2911's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4388 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42981 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
