I have a wired network in five rooms downstairs. This network has an access
point for a laptop. Everything works fine. Now I want to (1) to be able to
use the laptop upstairs (which currently doesn't work upstairs because it is
too far from the access point) and (2) connect a desktop computer (that is
upstairs) to the network.
Of course, I could extend the physical wiring upstairs to the desktop and
install another access point. But that would require me drilling a hole
through a particular wall that I'd rather not.
Is there a way to locate an access point on one side of the downstairs wall,
put some sort of "receiver" on the other side of the wall, then plug a wire
into the "receiver" and continue with a wired network on this "other side of
the wall" and upstairs in a wired fashion to the desktop upstairs? For the
laptop upstairs, I could install an access point at the end of this
"extension" of the wired network
