Suggestions for Wi-Fi to Ethernet adapter - Network from 2nd floor apartment to basement.

[Simon Bruun]

Hi Guys

 

I've been pushing this little project of mine in front of me for a few years now, and thought maybe some outside inputs could help me get started. 

 

I have this extra PC I use as a hobby server/nas. 

Right now it is standing in the corner of our living room.

But the plan has always been to put it in our basement room. 

 

I don't want to drill a hole from inside our apartment out to the shared stairwell.

So I need some sort of wireless solution to get network signal from inside the apartment to the stairwell. 

Once inside the stairwell I'll be able to use cables all the way to our basement room. 

I would say the signal needs to pass one, maybe two, brick or concrete walls, but otherwise not very far. my phone have great wi-fi signal inside the stairwell. 

 

My solution right now is to get a Access Point and use it as a Wi-fi to Ethernet adapter, and then use around 50m cat cable down to the basement. 

We live on 2nd floor, and need to down to -1 basement level, and then through a sort pathway to the basement rooms. 

There are holes and cable managers all the way down to the basement room from the stairwell.  

 

Looking for comments on the idea, and/or specific recommended devices names if you have them.
