This stuff makes my head hurt, so please excuse my lack of technological nouse.
My current setup is Virgin cable broadband in living room which provides wi fi for downstairs (mostly) and sends an Ethernet cable upstairs which connects to a Netgear wgr614. This router is in upstairs office and links via Ethernet to desktop mac and also provides wi fi to upstairs (mostly).
Now, because I'm rubbish at all this, when setting all this up years ago I created two different wifi networks. One downstairs and a separate one upstairs. It's a pain as devices don't auto switch and often need to be manually switched.
I think what I want to do is have the upstairs router act as an extender? So the whole house is on one network. Having started to read about it though, what should be relatively simple has got me stumped. Anyone able to point me to an idiot proof guide? Or suggest another option if this isn't the best solution.
Sorry for the essay.
