House is floor A, B, C. You'd have your modem and router on floor A. Install switches on both floor B and floor C. Run cat6 cable from router to floor B and floor C switches. Have 2 access points, plug access points into switch on floor B and the other on floor C. That would give you hard wired connectivity on every floor, as well as wireless on floor B and C, and a strong signal because it's just serving those floors and isn't halved because of extenders. Router is still controlling all connectivity. The switches, APs just extend that.

Ack! I just had the cable moved from Floor A to Floor B.
Thanks again for all of the info!
