Hey guys, my parents are moving into a new house and I am in charge of setting up a wireless network for it. The problem is, the house is big, old and has thick walls. My friend has a similar house and the walls really creates dead spots in the wifi network. Another problem is that the cable line comes in through the basement, and there are no ethernet ports in the house.
So, right now I'm trying to decide what is the best way of setting up a network. I figure I can either use a series of wireless n routers, one on each floor, to create a large network. I'm not exactly sure what I would need to make it so that it looks like one network, instead of 3 separate ones.
Another route I've been investigating is using internet over powerline adapters. This way I can get three adapters and have my routers plugged into those.
What do you guys think is the best method? If I were to use purely wireless routers, what would I need to buy? If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be glad to hear.
Thanks!
