I went a head and pulled the trigger on a new Asus (RT-AC56U). So I will use that as the primary.
Then the hardwired connection I have to the Desktop upstairs I will plug the old router into, and use it as an extender. Then with this old linksys router I have I will try and make that also and extender by using this ethernet over voltage adapter I got.
I wonder if the signal will go all the way to the garage? I would love to have a better signal in the far back of the detached garage.

A good friend of mine is able to pick up wireless from a nearby business but the signal strength is really low. He knows the owner and has the SSID passcode. Is it possible to buy an access point for his place and connect it to the neighboring network so that he can connect in his home?

quote:If they are hardwired to your new router, set them as Access Points, not extenders. Extenders will cut your bandwidth in half, but don't require a hardwire. APs will get your full bandwidth but requires a hardwire. Put one on channel 1, another on channel 6 and the other on channel 11.
