I'm just wondering I have an Asus RT N56U and it doesn't reach the west side of the house for signal.

So I have the old Netgear router that Virgin supplied a while ago and was going to set it up as an access point.

I found a guide that looks pretty simple enough but what it doesn't explain is will I need to run an Ethernet cable from the Asus router to the netgear in order to get it running? the guide doesn't actually say.

The other thing is will it work better than buying a wifi extender as I've read extenders aren't very good

thanks
