Hi all,
Here is the scenario: Large house, looking at getting much better coverage to all rooms than the current set up of two routers (a Belkin and a Thompson) That are connected together to both output the same connection ie your wireless device connects to the strongest wifi connection (the one in closest proximity)
Looking at getting more routers (Belkin ones) to basically extend our field of wifi coverage and running cables from the main one connected to out home line out to each individual ones.
The question is: Will there be a difference in speed between a connection setup consisting of :
Main router
- Second Router
- Third
- Fourth
{ie four connections on main router, each take a separate cable to their corresponding router}
VS
Main router
- Second router
- Third Router - Fourth Router
{ie main router using 3 out of its four connections running seperat ecables to corresponding router but the fourth router is connected via its cable to the third router - like a bridging effect}
Mainly I', looking at whether a max speed is shared between the four ports and as such would have two routers both vying for a quarter of max bandwidth
Please advise,
Regards
(I'm also aware that my terminology is quite probably wrong bearing in mind that I have the set up and all appropriate gear - just not the right names for it. Hope my query is understandable anyway)
