Any bros good at networking?

Actually I have a very simple problem la. I have already converted my tel ports to data points.

I now need something in my study (that's in the middle of my house) to boost the signal to my MBR.

Do I buy another dual band router to plug into the data point in my study?

Or do I buy a wireless repeater or extender?

Thanks!

Hello!

There are several ways to do so. Since you have data points in various rooms, and if you have two routers, you can connect two routers together. That is what I did. Go to this website to take a look. I did a LAN to LAN

http://www.wikihow.com/Connect-Two-Routers

I signed on with Starhub, which came with one router and I bought another. So one is in my living room. The other in my walk-in wardrobe, as the WIFI in the bedroom is a bit weak.

I have not used a wireless repeater before. But I have used home-plugs before. They work fine too. You can check those out as well.

Hope this helps.

Cheers.

Means I can just buy a dual band wireless router and plug it into the data point straight right?

Since you have a data point in your study, the best option should be to plug in a Range Extender there. Or plug in a Wireless Router in bridge mode. I suggest not to use Home Plugs unless you have no other option.

Perhaps you want to go down to Sitex show at Expo this weekend. You can visit the D-Link booth. They can advise you what to get. The prices are cheap at the show.

Ok. Range extenders are cheaper right?

Hmm... I might go there but very worried how crowded it might be haha!

Thank you!

My bunnies enjoying the soft carpet at my dining area. They are still concussed there right now. I don't lie when I say this is the softest carpet ever. Good buy!

My Christmas tree is up! I would love for it to be a little "thicker" but this one has always been quite sparse. Lazy to buy a new one. Haha! And my fireplace. More close up shots soon. FIRST FOOTBALL NIGHT!! :)

So cute! The carpet looks very comfy! I am thinking if I should get a cat. Have a family cat. She now lives with my parents' place. Problem is I am not home most of the time due to work, and I feel might not be fair to the cat! Hehe....

Dear Karaanne,

Your home looks great! May I ask where you bought your Fanco fans (with LED light) from? & how much?

I intended to install 1 big fan (Living area) & 3 small fans (bedrooms) with LED lights too!

Thank you.

Haha cats are quite independent, no?

Pets are more work but sometimes make a house so much more cozy :P

I got Aroma 46" X 2 at $330 each iirc (excluding installation)

And aroma 54" at $360 :)

From Hong Liang! You can look for James and tell him Kara's friend if the price is good for you.
