Re: Setting up WiFi for a large home By the way, expect any minute for a poster who doesnt quite know who he is, Clark Kent (aka superman) or Super Nova. He goes by ClarkNova. I predict he will state you need a red PFsense computer box with which to program your own router. Minimal cost.
Tis a good plan if you like to tinker and have time on your hands. Max Flex and growth potential and heck learning is FUN. Otherwise you need to ascertain your current, and a tad into the future, needs for the router bit and buy the right toy.
A top consumer wifi router is the netgear R6300. If you want a more robust router and fidelity you need to spend at least a few hundred bucks (200-500).

| Thanks for all the great advice.
While i still have you here i was wondering if you could recommend a mid-range router and perhaps 400-500ft AP's.
I was wondering if you guys could also comment upon the Amped Wireless Router, will this actually work, it claims 10,000ft (»www.amazon.com/Amped-Wireless-Wi···sim_pc_1)
Thanks a ton, I'm slowly but surely starting to think i understand what needs to be done. =)
I hope that the guys who did the wiring didn't do it at right angles, but i cant say for sure, heh heh. |

kudos:3 | I would recommend avoiding outlandish advertising claims. Go to smallnetbuilder.com for test results for current equipment and read anecdotal evidence from posters in the forums. Some are experts in actual installations so they have valuable experience. |
