Hi,

My desktop is on the other side of the house and I need internet access. Rather than install a wifi adapter, is there a wireless range extender that is truly wireless and I can plug into the desktop via the ethernet port.

  1. I have tried iBall wireless USD adaptor. For some reason, it conks off after every restart. The wireless LAN driver disappears. I have tried formatting and reinstalling too.
  2. I do not want to run a Lan wire throughout the house.
I would like to kill two birds with one stone, I would like to get internet access to my desktop via ethernet cable + extend the wireless range in the deadspots of my home.

I have two routers which I would like to use in this scenario.
  1. iBall Baton 300M MIMO Wireless-N Router.
    The cable guy provides the net. The wire is hooked upto the WAN port.

  2. Belkin Wireless ADSL Router previously used with MTNL. No WAN port.
    Belkin doesn't have an option for (repeater, bridging etc).

Options:
  1. Would an extender work in this scenario.
    Connect the Lan wire to the desktop and extender.

  2. Anyone use a Powerline. Is this the ideal solution.
    Please suggest brand. Nothing expensive.
Thanks for the help.
