Hi, excuse my ignorance on this matter.
Let me explain my situation. I live upstairs in this household, whereas the router is downstairs, on almost the opposite side. The connection is really bad, and only seems to be getting worse with time. We're considering running a 100ft ethernet cable directly from the router up to my room for my computer.
Now, I'm planning on doing a lot of next generation console gaming, as well as online on my DS. I was wondering if it was possible to run the ethernet cable from the downstairs router to a second router placed in my room, and then run another cable from that router to my computer. That way, provided it's even possible, I'd have a wifi connection being broadcasted more locally for nextgen and handheld wifi gaming, as well as a much better direct connection for my PC for browsing the interbutt and gaming online on it.
Is this a possible solution?
If not, are there any similar solutions that are? I really appreciate any help on the matter.
