On our home network, I want to run multiple signals within the house. I am doing this because there are currently 2 networked printers in the home, and they both run a wireless-B signal. Because of that, the signal is downgraded to B for all the computers, slowing the connection speed. I can fix that by turning off the printers, but thats not something I want to do all the time.
There are a few computers in the house, and the newer ones can run a wireless-N but the older ones can't, and I want a wireless-N signal so I can upgrade my Xbox wireless adapter and so that I can use the upgrade in speed for a Roku box, to watch netflix movies. I currently have a linksys wireless-G router, but here is what i'd like to do:
Set up 2 new access points
Set-up routers with following specifications
1. DSL Router (the original internet router)
2. Wireless-B signal (SSID: Printer signal)
3. Wireless-G signal (SSID: Home Network - G)
4. Wireless-N signal (SSID: Home Network - N)
I want each of the wireless signals to be selectable and independent, yet all using the same medium to access the internet, with the possibility of signal encryption.
Mainly, what I'm asking is...is this a possible set-up? Or would the different signals interrupt each other?
I want to get this up and going before I head off to college, so that when I come home I can use a fast internet connection. Also, I'm the last child of the family, so after me the house will be empty. Thats what the Roku box is for, so that Mom and Dad can do something other then remember how empty the house is.
