Hello, I just recently moved into the room in my house farthest from our router. As of now I am getting very weak signal and dropping the network constantly on my Macbook. I am looking to add another source of internet on my side of the house so I can run my Xbox/Macbook and not have any hiccups.
My current setup is: Comcast cable Modem -> Netgear Wireless Router. (in our office)
I have the ability to run an ethernet cord from the office (where the router and modem is located) to my new room, but I am unsure how I should go about splitting the connection. Can I plug the ethernet cord into my current router and run it to my room and plug another router into that? Or do I need to buy some type of splitter that splits the connection at the modem and then plug both routers into that splitter? Also I wouldn't mind just being able to run the ethernet to my room and splitting that connection and running one to my Xbox and the other to my Macbook.
So my question is basically what hardware do I need to add another router to my Network?
Thank you in advance, Dylan.
