Hello,
I have read so many things and at this point, I am pretty confused. I have read that repeaters can reduce a signal by half and that to link two routers together requires that that they be hard-wired to one anthother. Here is the problem that I am trying to solve for a friend. My friend has a large home and is utlizing a CenturyLink Actiontect G784WN Router/Modem. The wireless works fine throughout the house, however, upstairs in the far area of the house, there is no connection. I do not have the ability to hard wire routers, etc. I do not know how the house is wired, so from my reading I understand that the Powerline can be tempermental based on the wiring of the circuitry in the house. I am trying to find out what (reasonable costs) I can buy to provide access and step by step instructions on how to do get everything up and running. Any help would be greatly appreaciated.
