I have looked at other threads which address similar problems but none of them (I think) has the specific answer I need.
I have Infinity 2 via a HH3 type b router, this is situated upstairs next to the master socket. I have run a cat5e cable from upstairs to the downstairs living room to connect to a Youview TV box.
The wifi signal in the living room is weak and I would like to improve it with some sort of access point, my problem is as follows:-
All of the access points that I see recommended seem to have only one ethernet connector, I need to connect the Cat5 cable to both the access point and to the youview box without any degredation of line speed to you view.
Do I therefore need a ethernet switch in addition to the access point? or is there an access point that would enable connections to both the incoming cat5 cable and a link to the youview box?
Alternatively, do I in fact need a second router ( all of which seem to have multiple ethernet connectors) bearing in mind that the incoming connection is from another router and not from a modem.
I have read about using a redundant Home hub as an access point ( I have both a HH1 and a HH2) but I understand that this is not an option when the main router is a HH3 typeB.
Any assistance appreciated.
Thanks
