[QUOTE="cranky, post: 1742819, member: 9160"] Repeater is over the air, needs no physical connection except to its power adapter. Instead of one router in one corner and a repeater to boost a weak signal, I would use a wired router, with a wireless AP. The way it works is the internet is connected to the router. This would be able to connect all wired clients, and then you run one wired connection to a wireless AP (most wireless 'routers' can perform this function through some configuration changes). Locate the AP where you get the best signal in all your rooms - my guess is 'Living Room 1' in your case. The repeater is not a great solution, unless it's a great ($$$) repeater. You will notice most good repeaters cost about 2x of a good router, because they have double the radios. The cheaper repeaters use a single radio and are not worth it. [/QUOTE]
