Can one house have different cable and internet? [closed]

Solution 1:

You are trying to solve the wrong problem. Technically you can have 2 connections + 2 routers and have them work (just use different SSIDs/AP names and frequencies), but in this case "anything an ISP can do you can do too".

The obvious answer would be to get someone in to run a cable from the router to the other side of the house and plug in an AP there.

That said have you explored using Ethernet over powerline to create a virtual Ethernet connection between the locations? (Performance is very dependent on your electrical wiring but often its a good solution.)

Solution 2:

What you want is to have a second WiFi point at the other end of your house. What you need to do is:

1. Go buy a 100ft CAT6 cable, see Amazon or similar.
2. Plug one end of your cable into the back of your existing WiFi router (there should be 4).
3. Feed your cable to the other end of your house. Think of a way to do this neatly or ask someone who is handy to help. You could go through a wall to the outside and then around the outside walls and back in at the other end. Or up into the roof and then along in there and down at the other end. Or behind base-boards and through walls until you get to the other end.
4. Buy a WiFi router (if you don't already have a spare one one). The more you pay the better the signal though something like a $100 AX1800 is fine. Plug this router in where your cable is. Set up the WiFi or use the default on the back of the router. Job done.

Similarly, if your house is less than say 3000sqft. You could do this:

1. Buy a 50ft CAT6 cable.
2. Plug one end of your cable into the back of your existing WiFi router.
3. Go up into the roof and into your loft, you want the cable to be in the middle of your house in the loft.
4. Buy a $200+ WiFi Router like an AX5400 or above (very strong signal).
5. Plug this router in where your cable is, middle of your loft. Set up the WiFi or use the default on the back of the router. Job done.

The reason the second one works is that the WiFi signal on a router goes out and down, hence into the house rooms below. Also it being a more expensive model the signal will go further.

Note: Connect to the 2.4Ghz signals and try those over the 5Ghz, the 2.4's also go further. Your mileage may vary.
