I thought I'd grab some networking hardware in anticipation of my upgrading from DSL to Cable. I have two wireless routers (same SSID, with the one closer to the modem acting as the main), one (maybe 2) switches, and a powerline adapter.
I've been trying to find out how to wire my network for the least hassle/best configuration, and thought I'd turn to the forums for help.
After working it out, I've broken down the solutions to three configurations (Warning: Formatting):
1. Modem --> Switch --> Router A
|
Powerline (This is Switch to Switch via Powerline)
|
V
Switch --> Router B
2. Modem --> Router A
|
Powerline (This is router to switch via Powerline)
|
V
Switch --> Router B
3. Modem --> Router A
|
Powerline (This is modem to switch via Powerline)
|
V
Switch --> Router B
So which one should I go with? Or none of these? Thanks in advance.
