Thanks. Makes sense.

I've got my router in the back room – my laptop, cell phone, entertainment center in the front room. I have a Devolo mesh extender to get the signal from one room to the other.

Still trying to figure out which solution offers the best signal. Netflix started buffering last night, even though it was connected via ethernet. I'll try wi-fi tonight.
