Hello folks,
I need some help for setting up an Internet connection in-between two rooms (my PC room and my sitting room) in my house. Here's the scenario:
- The two rooms are at a distance of 100 feet (approx.) and there are doors and walls in-between them.
- I use Airtel broadband and it comes with the beetel 220BX - ADSL2+ modem which I have connected to a D-Link switch (like this one: http://www.dlink.com/dgs-1008g). I use a second wired LAN connection for my netbook sometimes, thus the need for the switch.
- The Airtel modem and D-Link switch are placed in my PC room.
Now, to my questions which I'm dividing into 2 parts:
As mentioned above I would like to have internet connectivity in the two rooms but I was wondering if it'll be better to use 100+ feet CAT6 cable to establish the connection OR should I buy and use a wireless router and then establish the connection with it?
WRT CAT 6 Cable:
(i) If I were to use CAT 6 cable, will it hinder connectivity since it's a large 100+feet distance?
WRT Wireless Router:
(i) Will the router work since there are walls and doors in-between the two rooms over the distance?
(ii) In case this is the better option, which wireless router should I buy, some links from Flipkart would be great.
Please advice folks as I'm a noob at networking and any help is really appreciated.
Regards,
