A couple router questions

[rh535]

I got another router on black Friday and it is a Netgear router but i have a Linksys router installed now. I was going to use the netgear router as access point but will it work with a linksys router? Also which should i have as my router and as my access point?

NetGear

Linksys

Also if i switched the Linksys router with netgear router would i have better speed internet since i am connected directly to the internet?

How many computers do you have? Do you really need to use two routers at once? Just choose which one you like better and use it. If you really want to use them both they should work fine if you set them up correctly.

The router is in the basement connected to my computer through a wired conneection. On the 1 floor a laptop is connected wireless and on the 2 floor a desktop connected wireless. The desktop on the second floor barely if at all gets internet signal so i need to have a access point set up some where.

so what should i do?

The wireless router will give you better coverage if installed upstairs on the middle floor, however you would need a H/W connection to the router in the basement.

what is a H/W connection?

i would just use one wireless router and get a signal booster.

I got this router for only $10 and i would like to use it. So how can i use this router and my other router to get a better signal upstairs?

H/W is 'hard wire' from 1st router (or modem) to WLS(wireless) router.

as a response to your original question, from my expiriance, netgear gets better coverage,
