The setup in my house is main office is upstairs with internet connection...downstairs in the theater room is the HTPC. Essentially media storage. My house isn't hard wired, so Ive been playing with ways to connect the upstairs to the downstairs, and Ive finally hit magic.
First setup was second router downstairs connected via 5Ghz wifi over N. Second solution was powerline. Now Ive got an AC router in both places, the one downstairs in media bridge mode. Holy shit.
Transfer speeds over 5Ghz N = 20Mbs
Transfer speeds over Powerline = 45Mbs
Transfer speeds over AC wifi====375-390Mbs
