Hi - I'm fairly new to networking ... know the basics ... and I recently received one of the new FiOS G1100 Quantum Gateway routers when I upgraded to 75/75 internet. I'm trying to get a better WIFI signal throughout the house. Above I've posted a picture of my current configuration and two possible new ones using the G1100.
My office PC is wired directly into the current FiOS router (MI424WR) and I have a 125' run of CAT5 to connect to other equipment in the family room via a 4 port switch. I also have a Cisco E4200 router providing the WIFI at that end of the house.
My question - what's the best use of / configuration that will maximize the WIFI coverage? If I use the Quantum Gateway or the MI424WR in the family room - should I connect it with the COAX or the CAT5? Both connections are available in that location. I have shown two possibilities on the diagram above ... but I'm open to any and all suggestions - I know there's probably many others.. Thanks.
