router

There are two or three options I would recommend, depending upon
distance, interference, and the number of Ethernet devices you want to
connect vs. the number of 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi devices you want to connect.

Before you get started, if you want to use WiFi (except the antiquated
802.11a), hold a garage sale and dispose of all 2.4GHz cordless phones,
baby monitors, x10 cameras, etc. and replace your cordless phone with a
5.8GHz digital or DECT 6.0 phone (and either go up or down for the other
devices, if any). Free up the 2.4GHz bandwidth.

Next, many WiFi routers can be used as "range extenders". Plug one WiFi
router into your broadband modem. Configure it. Setup WPA encription
(more secure than WEP). Go to the next floor, preferably almost
directly above or below the location of your first router. Plug your
second router into an outlet, and use a computer (laptop is ok) to plug
into the second router and configure it as a range extender (check the
manual or help from the manufacturer on how to do this). This works
particularly well if the floor/ceiling does NOT have too much steel in it.

OR, you can simply plug router one into the broadband modem, then run an
Ethernet cable to the next floor, and plug in a second router (which can
be setup with a different IP address & DHCP pool, OR set it up to pass
the IP addresses from the first router). WiFi will be available on both
floors if you use WiFi routers. This should also give you the option of
using the 4 ports on the back of the WiFi router on the "slave" floor.

OR, if you don't want WiFi, or if you have too many devices to plug in
with Ethernet cables (non-WiFi devices), plug your router directly into
the broadband modem, then run an Ethernet cable to the next floor, and
plug in an Ethernet switch. You can add additional Ethernet switches,
wireless (WiFi) access points, and WiFi range extenders/repeaters for
additional coverage, as needed.

For any of these scenarios, if you desire WiFi coverage, you can also
consider the purchase of a "range booster" type antenna or antennae for
your WiFi router(s).


Also, for best coverage, try to install the WiFi routers near the middle
of the building. If you install them at one end of the building, people
at the other end of the building may get little or no signal (depending
upon distance, wall material, interference, etc.).
