We've got a social club, where we're trying to get the best possible WiFi coverage (without spending any money or hardly…).We're having fibre installed within the next few weeks.There's a main router by the entrance in a wardrobe. This router (the main router) is connected to the 2nd router in a small office. The main router also has a network cable running to a small cabinet in the main hall (grey box). RJ45 face plate in the small cabinet. Furthermore, the library has also got an RJ45 faceplate (see small grey dot). This one is connected to the 2nd router. Currently, if I walk around, I get OK coverage in the library, if I'm connected to the 2nd router. If I move to the main hall, I need to switch network to the main router. In the kitchen, there's more or less no coverage. My question is: If I have a wireless AP installed in the small cabinet in the main hall (the grey box) and another one in the library (the grey dot), can I then expect full coverage, without having to switch between networks (and will this also reach the kitchen)? Also, as the 2nd router currently is running on it's own SSID, is it possible to change this, so we only use the SSID from the main router. The 2nd router would then instead act as a switch. I hope it all makes sense… Oh and one more question. No issue with using the RJ45 face plate in the main hall. However, in the library, any chance if it can be split? So it's both used for the wireless AP and also if someone need to hardwire a device. I guess I would just use a small switch, right?
