I'm back home for the holiday and trying to help my dad out. Currently he has a D-Link DIR-655 and it is not covering the whole house (1800 sqr feet). He can pick up another DIR-655 for $20. It needs to cover all the media devices and a computer upstairs. Their is also a tablet and at least 5 smart phones connect at a time. I'm thinking to flash the DIR-655 and use it in some fashion to extend coverage. What are my options to have continuous coverage so that devices like laptops, tables and smartphones don't have to change between SSID. I'm not very familiar with networking. I'm a bit confused between router/AP/repeater/extender...
