Why purchase access point when same thing can be achieved with router?
Region : Argentina
Model : TD-W8968
Hardware Version : V3
Firmware Version :
ISP :
Hello,
I have recently purchased TD W8968 and using it as a Wireless router mode ( am also using the USB port , which has made my printer wifi enabled) Now this router is placed in basement (where I have my home office) , my residence is on ground floor (just above basement) This router is not able to provide good signal strength on ground floor hence I am planning to purchase another device which can be used as an access point so that I can extend range of my wireless setup.
Here is the part I am confused - When a router like TD W8968 can also be used as an access point , Should I purchase a pure access point like TL WA 801ND or should I just purchase another TD W8968 and use it as an access point? (Given that I get more robust features with W8968 compared to WA 801ND and there isn't much of a price difference.)
Thank You!
