Currently my router gives wifi coverage on the ground floor and first floor (and is little used, but desirable). By the time the signal reaches my office in a stone building in the garden it is very weak. I tried adding a second router with the wan omitted and hit the problem described in this thread. I have removed that and now have a switch box without wifi in the office, but now my Internet tablet can't connect so I need wifi here again. Does the AP you recommend simply attach to the switch box? Are there good instructions somewhere that deal with any special settings? Any practical advice you can add?
