How to setup a wireless network in a LARGE home?

I am moving into a large house and currently have wireless setup in my apartment and want to know how I will be able to set up a wireless network that will have excellent coverage throughout the house? Is there a way I could run 2 seperate routers, one on each side of the house? Right now my router is a wireless g and I get excellent coverage throughout my apartment. If I ran it off of 2 routers is there a way to piggy back them off each other or would I need an additional cable modem? Or would I have to look at maybe g+ or better?

1. test your router once you move in and see....often you can move it to a more central location and cover everything. You can piggyback another router off of what you have, but the better solution is to buy one of the newer wireless N routers and put your old one on craig's list or e-bay.....
2. I have a 2 story 3000 sq foot house.. I'm running wireless w/ a single Wireless Access point (as opposed to a router). So long as you do not plan on exceeding about 50 feet from the antenna (50 feet is a safe "distance" for in home w/ all the walls that get in the way) then you will be fine.. Otherwise.. have your wireless router, and then put an AP/range extender at the other end of the house.. Also, you can get "db boosters" for whatever router/AP you end up using. I'm pretty sure linksys for example has an antenna that increases the broadcast power by 9dBi.. G will do just fine..
3. If you use Windows XP SP2. Start -> Settings -> Control Panel. Here go to Wireless, and follow the steps.
4. Hello ok you can add many routers in a same network all you need to connect them in same network via cable it is better to use same SSID in all the routers so that if u move from one place to another ...
5. You have 3 alternatives for doing this without any long wire runs - Buy a range extender for your existing wireless router and see if that covers everything. If not.... - Buy an additional router and 2 additional wireless devices that support "bridge mode". Hook the bridges to your old router on one end and the new router on the new end. Most routers support both normal and bridge modes. - Try buynig a PoE device which would allow you to simply plug in your network port into a power socket and you'd have networking anywhere you have power in the house. Option 1 is your best bet, just make sure you are encrypting your traffic, prefferably with WPA2.
6. Hello- You could also try using a wireless antenna to boost the wireless signal throughout the house. This is what I use in my home and the signal is strong throughout the house. You could also look into a signal booster. Both ways are inexpensive to install.
