just move dinto my folks house for a few months and they have telewest
broadband.
they have the main connection going into a room downstairs which they use
as an office. so that cannot be moved. I have setup a netgear wired/wireless
router to share the connection between 3 pc's in the office.
we also have 2 computers upstairs at the back of the house. These 2
machines are connected via the wireless. However due to the distance the
quality of the signal isnt great. It drops every now and again and can be
quite slow.
I have a spare netgear wireless access point. Does anyone know if its
possible to add this access point into the network somewhere
inbetween the current setup, as if it would halve the distance for example?
otherwise does anyone know the best way to "boost" a wireless distance/
connection to enable a better quality signal.
There are ways of increaseing the signal range, but it depends on the kit your have got. Please post the model of your netgear wap, will enable the technically minded to look it up.
