Hello, I'm Netwit which explains a lot.
I live in an old farmhouse which was refurb'd a while ago - ethernet cables were added from the room the internet router is in to other rooms i.e. hardwire. The router's wifi is not powerful enough to reach other than the next room and I want to get a wifi signal at the other side of the house so I have comeup with this solution (i think) can anyone confirm this would work please ?
Incoming BT port connects to router - I propose to connect a gigabite switch to the router and plug in the ethernet cables to each room. To the other end of the ethernet cables I propose to add a wifi hub (non intelligent) which should provide wifi at the switch speed/router speed in the appropriate room.
Is this correct or is there a simpler way ?
Apart from the switch I would need 4 wifi hubs - where's best to buy them if this proposed system would work?
