I know many people's routers end up being on the other side of the house from where you usually use your wireless devices. I got a Boxee Box for Christmas and it worked just fine except it was having bandwidth and stability issues and unable to stream high def. I bought a range extender. It did NOT solve my problem and do NOT recommend it. I did find out about "ethernet over powerline adaptors" and will say that I VERY VERY VERY HIGHLY recommend that product(Netgear XAVB1004 or similar).
Now to my question. The adapter on the downline end has 4 ports set up in "priority" fashion(which is another neat feature). Can I put some other router type device or bridge or repeater using one of the ports on the "downline" adaptor??? I am thinking Apple Airport Express type gizmo here although doesn't have to be Apple.
Sorry if I am in the wrong section but it would improve my experiences on my Prime. It is right on the edge of the range of the router and stability is an issue. SOmetimes, it is fine. Others, it struggles or disconnects. This happens with almost all device. I will say the issue has got worse since the update....that may be just my imagination...
PS....I go to my browser on my TV and go to the Speedtest.net website and get 20Mbps++ at the Entertainment center(Comcast High Speed). If I could get that coming out of an Airport Express type device on the other side of the house, I would be tinkled pink!!!
PSS....if you are baffled about getting a good signal to your entertainment center and have just about gave up and ran Cat 5 hardwire, ethernet over powerline is your solution. I am absolutely amazed!!!
