Large brick house - looking to extend wi-fi coverage
Hello,
My home is all brick single floor construction which means that it is next to impossible using apple's star configuration and the present Airport technology to set the system up to cover the entire house. Even with multiple AEBS and AX units the best i can do is cover about 50%.
I just bought a Belkin 500 mbps powerline network adapter and am hoping this will finally give me internet in the rear of the house. One end of the powerline system would be connected to the main AEBS, where the cable modem signal enters the house. The other powerline unit would be connected in a bedroom at the other end of the house, to another AEBS or AX unit. I am hoping i can get the second Airport transmitter to transmit internet to the bedrooms in that area.
But i'm not sure this will work. Would anyone out there be able to tell me if this set-up actually would work, or if not help me find an alternative solution? Otherwise I am going to have to order a second cable modem from my local provider and fork over another $49 a month into perpetuity.
Help! (And thank you in advance).
