re: Extended Wifi

So I would not actually even need a router? I can pull drops off my 16port switch and use some of those drops as ethernet drops to say my computer, fire tv, xbox, and other similar devices. Then use some of the other drops for access points. Likely dropping each drop over each room that needs wifi. Would it switch between access points seamlessly as you move throughout the house? Or do I have the whole scenario wrong and I do meed the router?

if you're hardwiring then there's no need for access points but i think your point is correct, an ethernet port is an ethernet port whether you plug in a printer or something to extend your wifi range.
i guess the difference is you might want to put an access point on the ceiling and not a wall fish so you'd leave a drop in the attic above where you plan to attach an access point in the future.
