[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1879502, member: 396914"] Probably not. The "router" is the device handling the DHCP services to assign IP numbers and also connecting your Local Area Network (LAN) to the Internet Service Provider's (ISP) network to get out to the world. What the APs do is connect to the Router to repeat the signals so you get more coverage. However, in thinking about it, unless the APs are connected by Ethernet to the router, they are using WiFi to communicate, so your speeds over Ethernet are going to be throttled to whatever they can handle between them and the router. What that means is that the Ethernet may not get you any better performance than if you just used wifi. Be interesting to see what the installer has to say. [/QUOTE]
