Distributing wired and wireless broadband around the house, how?
I hope some of you experts can offer some help.
With more and more electrical devices having network connections these days how do people get around splitting the single broadband connection to many many devices?
Example:
My devices are as follows-
1, Main router (router 1) connected to Master socket (BT Phone line) NTE5 faceplate.
Router has 4 ports connected as follows:
port 1 - Main PC
port 2 -Second PC
port 3 - Freenas server
port 4 - Second router in next room.
2, Second router (router 2) which is connected to router 1 via port 4 has following connections.
port 1 - TV
port 2 - Xbox
port 3 - Sky box
port 4 - To router 1
This works fine except I now need to add further connections.
I want to add another 2x pc's which not only gives access to the internet but allows for LAN gaming between them.
Plus I want to add Wifi into the same area where the 2x new pc's will be.
I have an old Non wireless Netgear router DG834 I could possibly use plus I have a WiFi 4 port extender Netgear WN2000RPT.
I wonder if anyone can suggest how this could be done?
Any help greatfully received.
:)
