Wireless Bridge

bliz4rd

Hey guys. My current internet current internet setup is using a black motorola sb6141 into a asus rt56u for the wireless. The thing is that the equipment is on the otherside of the house, and I think in order to get a modem in my room I think I'd have to call a tech from my ISP cause I got a feeling they didn't do the wiring in this room. My question is would using something as a bridge so I'd have a cable connection for my build and still give me decent speeds for a heavily gaming rig? Would that affect my existing connections at all? I would rather have a wired connection for gaming.

Just run a CAT 5e cable from the modem to your room and have it input the router at that point where you can split off the wired ethernet connections to your devices?

Are you saying you want to get a Wireless-to-Ethernet bridge? because it will be the same speed as wireless.

Yeah that's kinda what I'm thinking. I have considered running a cable, but that won't be possible (at least at the moment). My room mates are extremely picky about it.

What would happen if I managed to get another modem in my room? Do you guys reckon it would count as like a different network or something?

Depends on your provider some allow more than one modem others don't, but if you could get one you basically have your own independent connection.

Wouldn't that powerline adapter also depend on the wireless speed? That wouldn't really be a problem, my wireless speed isn't that bad.

That depends on the electrical wiring in your home since it sends the ethernet signal down the power lines to a receiver that plugs into the wall.

powerline adapter isn't wireless (unless its a wireless access point as well)

powerline adapter is always the best option if you have decent wiring in the home

Interesting. I figured those pick up a wireless signal. But, now I got a couple different possible solutions.
