Thanks, I will use Cat6 or 7 and it appears I can select different channels (rather than using the auto channel selection). Any thoughts to the other questions, specifically... 1) Answered 2) How does this approach compare to adding theHughesnet Wi-Fi Booster? 3) Does the 2nd router connected, by itself, use data? 4) Is there a better approach/router I should be using to do this? 5) Will the added router's Wi-Fi signal remain password protected? Thanks much for any feedback. Can I connect wireless router w/200' of Cat5 to HT2000W to get signal on other side of house? Hello, Can I connect the NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 Dual Band GigabitRouter(R7000) to 200' of Cat5 from the HT2000W to other side of house where the signal is poor? 1) Will it work, will it affect HT2000W signal strength and what signal strength might I expect from the Nighthawk? 2) How does this approach compare to adding theHughesnet Wi-Fi Booster? 3) Does connecting a 2nd router, by itself, use data? 4) Is there a better router I should be using to do this? 5) Will the added router's Wi-Fi signal remain password protected? Thanks much for any feedback, be easy on the tech jargon (: Solved
