Re: extending wireless range downstairs

First thing I'd try is to use a better antenna. If the antennas are removable that is an easy upgrade.

Here is a source I've used:

HomePlug stuff does work. Is there no way you can run Cat 5e cable to the new AP? Through a closet perhaps or pipe/heating duct chase?

Tom,

No, no real way to actually wire the second AP since it would be downstairs, and the opposite end of the house. My broadband comes in in an upstairs room on the other side of the house.
