Computer/Networking Help!!!!
-
I am setting up a network with wireless for downstairs here in my house. I have tried putting the wireless router upstairs where the modem is and having my computer downstairs. Not such a great idea, shitty reception. So I took the good wireless router off the upstairs modem, and just gonna use a shittier wireless for just branching cable to my computer downstairs. It branches off the modem upstair to run to my computer to get rid of the wireless. I would however, like use my good wireless router and have it for downstairs for my laptop. Is this possible? To have 2 wireless routers in one house? Use the internet line from the router upstairs running downstairs and plug it into my good router downstairs? I am needing the ethernet cable ends and the crimper, I already have tons of cat5 line.....I know you can buy these but for this one time usage, anybody have one layin' around I could rent??? I will go buy the ends, but the crimper is kinda expensive. Also, I cant remember the color order the wires have to be in when you crimp the ends on. I think there are like 7 or 8 little wires inside the cat5 cable, just dont remember the order. Any help would be great!

white orange / orange / white green / blue / white blue / green / white brown / brown
And you wont technically need a router downstairs, you can just use a normal access point in repeater mode connecting to the upstairs.

if you ever need to remember the order "the green grass around the blue lake" is a helpful little thing to get stuck in your head, then just remember to start with white orange. Also yes you can run two wireless networks in the same place, we have 2 in our apt, not sure why other then that we each had a wireless router. shouldn't have to many problems cept that brick walls really hurt the signal strength. good luck

hhmm......well, i have this 1000 foot roll of blue cat5 just laying around here and I guessing I'll probably need 75 to 100 feet. Going to run it through the walls. If I need to, I suppose I'll go buy one, but I'm only crimping 2 ends, so, just thought I would ask around.

You can pick up a crimper for liek 8 or 9 bucks. I have one and it's kindof a pile but it works when necessary.

My "crimper" I've had for 8 years now cost me under 20 dollars when I bought it a long time ago. It's not very nice but it works. I've seen the same one some places for under 10 dollars.

I bought my radio shack crimper @ highway 10 for like $13 dollars
