Thanks for the reply! In terms of adding Ethernet, the only real device I have that could use Ethernet would be my work/personal computers (both in the same location). Should I just have one Ethernet line ran to that part of the house, or would it be better to run them to multiple rooms while I have someone here to do it anyways.
Also, for access points, when people talk about those do they typically mean using them through an Ethernet connection? I know there are APs you can get that connect wirelessly to your network, but I assume those aren’t as reliable/fast. If I use wired APs, then I suppose it makes sense to run a couple Ethernet lines, one to my office area and one to the basement since both areas are dead zones and then hook up APs to those Ethernet lines?
I’ll look into those routers you mentioned, I appreciate the input.
I like the idea of running some Ethernet around the house and setting up some APs in those areas.
This might be a simple question, but what is involved in setting up an AP? I assume I will still have my modem/router connected to coax in the same location it is now, and then hook up the AP to one of the new Ethernet lines (and probably a wall outlet) in the area I want a better WiFi signal. Is that it? Or do I need to connect those Ethernet lines to my modem/router in some way? Maybe the cable runner would do that in their work, but I’m pretty naive in that world.
