sorry my bad i have my original virgin wifi router and a asus router but i want to boost my internet downstairs and how would you suppose i do that? i want both routers on the same network.Well too be honest my virign router does have a modem mode
Are you wanting this setup for maximum performance or for maximum cheapness?
Performance:
Set your virgin modem/rotuer into modem-only mode, setup asus as primary router.
Run ethernt line (or use powerline adpater) to connect Asus to another router that is configured as access point.
This setup allows your much more powerfull asus router to handle all of the router functions and then provides stronger wifi in basement.
Using your weak ISP provided router is like towing your working powerfull diesel truck with you much less powerfull 6cyl gas truck (instead of the other way around).
Cost:
Run ethernt line (or use powerline adpater) to connect virgin modem/router to Asus router and reconfigure asus router ot be access point.
