Hi I am thinking of getting this router to boost my wifi range in the 2nd floor of my house, as my Astro fiber modem and routers are downstairs.

I am a noob so hope you can answer some basic questions.

Should I set it up as a repeater or AP? Can I set it as an AP without pulling ethernet cable upstairs?

Which is the best option without pulling cables?

thanks sifus!!!

Thanks chuahcs79 for your reply. unfortunately home plug doesnt work in my house. I tested it. Apparently according to the astro fiber installer, this is because the plug upstairs and the plug downstairs are not connected.

So does that mean I can only set up as repeater? If so, then dont need to pull ethernet cable right? If repeater set up stable?

thanks!

Yup it's 3 phase. Thanks for the reply. Appreciate it

I think I will get ASUS RT-N12HP and set it up in repeater mode. Running cables is going to be a bit of a headache...

Thanks again

Hmmm... on second thoughts, I will just use ASUS RT-N12HP as the main router, replacing the one that came with Astro Fiber. Since this ASUS can has 300% range compared to normal router, it should be able to reach my upstairs easily and give me at least 3 bars... hopefully

If this works, then don't need to set up repeater or AP
