If you're over 3 floors you won't be able to do it wirelessly with a single AP.

What you can do is run a cable to the first floor, put a switch or access point with a switch integrated there, run a cable from that to the second floor, switch there, same again on the third floor. Switches aren't mind-blowingly expensive for okayish ones.

If I were you I'd at the very least run a cable to the second floor and put a second access point in. Something like this. I'd throw some switches in - if you want absolute cheap as chips and aren't doing >100Mbps, this will do fine.

Wires are the right way to do things. If you can avoid wireless, do so. Wireless is for phones and other highly mobile devices. Laptops at desks, desktops, consoles etc should all be connected by wires.

You could try powerline ethernet adapter like this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AWRUICG/

If the plug where your room is and the plug where the router is are in the same circuit, it should work great, if not it may be hit or miss.

Other than that you next best bet is to try to improve your wifi with a better access point.

Something like this will be better than most ISP provided routers

Or something like this should really cover a lot of area

>Old router:

>https://www.amazon.com/Linksys-WRT120N-Wireless-N-Home-Router/dp/B0028N6VNW

With this router, I was able to connect my Comcast cable modem Ethernet cable to it, and then use an additional ethernet to connect the router to my PC. This provided my house with Wi-Fi and internet to my PC.


This is what I bought as a replacement:

>https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-TL-WA901ND-Wireless-450Mbps-Repeater/dp/B002YETVXC

>Only has one ethernet port, so I have no way of connecting both from the cable modem and to my PC like I did with my previous router.

Dad also had this switch lying around:

As of right now, I have everything plugged into the switch via multiple ethernet cables:

Comcast cable modem - > switch

switch - > into PC

switch - > into tp-link

This gives my PC internet, and allows me to connect other devices to the Wi-Fi.

However, once on the wi-fi, I can only access the tp-link settings menus via tplinkap.net (there I can change the operating mode of the device from AP, Client, Bridge, Repeater and Multi-SSID).

Is there anyway I can make this work, or did I fuck up and buy the completely wrong thing?

Late to the party here, but I used a TP-Link WAP exactly how you described for my mining rig. Had it connected to my home wifi then used the ETH port to connect to the rig. Cheap too.

u/kayoz · 1 pointr/ireland

Yeah, but I very recently had an issue with a TP-Link and the Cisco EPC3925 that UPC supplied me.

Long story short, didn't work. It should have, TP-Link support were stumped. The TP-Link wouldn't respond to ARP requests coming in via WiFi.

I'd recommend one of three things:

  • Get a WiFi Access Point ( like this ) and connect it up to your Horizon box with an Ethernet cable.
  • Go for any new router. Get UPC to supply you with a separate Modem Router that supports "Bridge Mode". Tell them you want to upgrade your home network to "AC WiFi" (It's okay to lie) .
  • Go for a router that's on this database, worst case scenario you can switch the router software to something more configurable.

    If you have any questions or need further explanation, don't hesitate to give me a shout.

A router is just like those old ADSL USB modems, but with a switch instead of a USB connection.

> An access point from what I can tell can have a wired bridge with a wireless connection to your router. Would the bridge be too slow for you?

Essentially what I'm looking for. The only difference being the AP also repeats the wireless signal, which of course is no issue. A wireless bridge simply lets you connect ethernet devices to a wireless AP. As long as it can connect to a wireless access point and then provide that connection to multiple devices via gigabit, it'll do the job.

All these terms can be incorporated into one unit. An AP can be a repeater (as in it repeats the signal from the router wirelessly) or it can be a a standard AP that connects to the router via ethernet to provide a wireless network. It might also have a switch, so ethernet devices can communicate. In doing this, it also becomes a bridge.

Examples: [This thing can connect two devices via 100Mbps to a wireless network, or it can repeat a wireless signal, or it can be used as a standalone AP.(http://www.amazon.co.uk/Buffalo-AirStation-Wireless-N-Ethernet-Converter/dp/B0046YXSZU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1348610004&sr=8-3)

See, if that thing had four gigabit ports, it'd be perfect. Of course if I bought a £20 gigabit switch and used one port to connect to that thing, I'd have exactly what I wanted. Four devices communicating via gigabit, so I could say, transfer a 15GB file from a laptop to a desktop at considerably faster speeds than wireless N or 100Mbps ethernet. They'd communicate via the switch, and the wireless would play no role. However for internet, they'd be using the wireless through the Buffalo AP.

It'd cost me £60 to do that, but essentially I want to do it with one unit.

Again, this is almost perfect. Can be used as an AP client. Only has one 100Mbps ethernet port though. If it had four gigabit ports, it'd do exactly what I want. Again, I could solve this with a gigabit switch connected to that port. (Although not sure what the difference between bridge and AP client is on the feature comparison.)

This might do it. Although no mention of whether or not it can be used as a client.

Here is a bunch.

If you don't need AC, the price can drop down to the $30-40 range for good options.

Just in case you need a diagram.

EDIT: I've personally used this in the past; however its only N. Our modern AC network however uses business grade hardware and my personal modern recommendations aren't really a viable choice.

u/bigfinger76 · 1 pointr/HomeNetworking

If you don't need multiple SSIDs, etc., I highly recommend the TP-Link TL-WA901ND. I've deployed several over the past two years, and have yet to have any issues whatsoever. And for $37, you cannot beat it.

u/mlazzarotto · 1 pointr/italy

Solitamente gli extender hanno una porta Ethernet per collegarci un PC/laptop.
A te serve un access point, che di base hanno una porta di "input" per prendere il segnale e distribuirlo, ma solitamente integrano uno switch a 4 porte.

A te serve una cosa simile a questo

Get a wireless bridge. It hooks to one wifi network and offers a new wifi wireless connection. You just need to find a spot close to where you want new wireless to work.

You can get an TP-Link 8 port unmanaged gigabit switch for all of $20 on Amazon right now. And if you want a dedicated wifi AP to go with it, here's a TP-Link Access Point for all of $30.

This will give you your own wifi and 6 usable ethernet ports after 1 is used for uplink to router, and 1 used for AP for all of $50+tax out the door, solving any and all router issues at the same time.

u/j50n · 1 pointr/PS4

yeah first thing I would check is if it works directly wired into your router. I know PS4 antennas suck and had to buy one of these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002YETVXC/ref=twister_B00RGP7OMO?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 to use as wireless client.

You could try a wireless extender. I've had some luck with the TP-Link TL-WA901ND. It wasn't enough for our brick house though.

I also use some wireless powerline adapters spread around the house: TP-Link TL-WPA4220T

They have ethernet ports so I can have a decent and stable wired connection to desktops but each adapter also provides excellent WiFi access to rooms that they are in.

However, your results may very depending on the quality of the electrical wiring in your house.
