Should I install a second Router in house?

I don't think you can install 2 routers in the same network. You can buy an extender if you want, but if the signal strength is good, I don't see any need for it.

It is possible to use two routers on the same network but it requires careful configuration to make it work properly.  bigboss is absolutely spot on though, if your signal strength is good there is absolutely no need.  You could end up causing more headaches!

Hi,

I have the same router as you and the range is pretty poor compared to the Netgear unit i had before. Probably around 50% of the range of the Netgear. If I'm upstairs on the other side of the house, it drops out a lot.

If you can borrow another unit from a mate, you can see if yours has poor range too.

I guess that you can't check the actual connection speed via your TV or DVD player only signal strength?

I'm going to swap mine out for a netgear later this week, as I have one at work that's now surplus to requirements.

Many Thanks for you expert advice , I will carry on with the Belkin alone.

It's great to get good advice.

I have a similar enquiry.

We have actually got two internet enabled phone lines - one is a dedicated fax line.

However,  as it is more economical, both lines now come with internet from the ISP.

We use powerline plugs for streaming to TV. But I was wondering also if there is a way to

enhance the current setup in any way by combining or using the two internet lines/ routers.

Any ideas?

You will need a dual WAN router apparently, after a quick Internet search.
