This is probably a basic question, but I have not been able to find an answer for it.
Current situation - Wireless Router on Second Floor with Wireless USB Adapter in Basement. Getting slow speeds.
Thoughts - I am looking at putting a powered Wireless Access Point in the basement to increase the speed of the connection.
Questions -
Do Wireless Access Points communicate wirelessly with Routers?
Will the Access Point being plugged into the wall increase its power, therefore its speed to the router over what I am currently getting?
Will the connection be weaker because I would be adding an additional wireless leg to the connection between the computer and the router?
Any help or thoughts would be appreciated. I am trying to find the best and cheapest option for wireless before I start looking at wither the basement needs to be hardwired into the network.
Thank in advance
