Example on how to configure a router as an access point for ASUS routers.

May be overkill but a high end access point you can buy. One I am using in my house and serves about the same square footage as you. You have the option of installing a second if you start getting dead patches but that shouldn't happen with the size of your home.

Sorry to detail this thread everyone.
So if I have this right, I can leave everything the same, but turn wireless off on the modem and plug a higher end Asus into the Ethernet and use it as my wireless access point? That would be way easier.
Thanks so much FlameOn!
