Currently my network is setup something like this:
Basement: This is where the the router / modem that Comcast provides is. It is set to give out a wireless network (To hopefully cover the basement), and is connected to a TP-LINK TL-PA4010KIT AV500 Powerline Adapter, going to the 2nd floor. It is also connected via ethernet to a computer. This floor has the only Co-Ax cable hookup for internet.
Main Floor: This area has no networking, but optimally, should be reached by the wireless access points.
2nd Floor: The powerline adapter from the basement goes up here to our ASUS N66R router, which is broadcasting at both 2.4 and 5 GHz frequencies.
Note: all of these networks are under the same name / password, so people's phones / laptops can automatically connect regardless of which network it is.
With that setup present, the entire basement setup is working perfectly well. However, the upstairs areas experience extreme slowdown, and I'm not anywhere near experienced enough to know what to troubleshoot from here.
