Ok thanks, that's what I thought you meant.

Sorry to ask so many questions. My issue is that my parents' house has no network cabling in the walls, so I can't really link the extender to the main router with Cat 5/Cat 6 cabling. But if coax is an option like you say, that would be a simple solution, as they do have several coax jacks on the main floor.

Thanks for your input.

Are you say that you're stealing Wi-Fi from a neighbor down the street? ** -- BayHokie 12/29/2017 10:23AM

Lol - no - I can get a decent signal from my extender -- agray123 12/29/2017 10:40AM

Hmm...does the extender have to be hardwired to the main router? -- MP4VT2004 12/28/2017 9:48PM
