Its not my choice. If I could have it my way, it would be as simple as powerline, but my landlord (I'm a tenant) doesn't want that kind of solution. I have no say in it. I have cabling in my house already. It runs from the first floor, up behind the walls and there is an ethernet socket in each room. In the socket in my room I have a 5-way switch. I'm trying to achieve an increased wifi signal from this switch, because I have no ability to use a powerline adapter. Thats been my thought through it all, hence my example, but its out of the question as to whether or not I'd be able to do this
