Re: Wireless Range improvement Question

You can extand range with a usb antenna and software.
for a few bucks more you can get a really good antenna.
here's an example of an expensive one:

I have a standard Linkysy 54G wireless router. All my PCs & Laptops

wireless also. The signal upstais and to some of the rooms is weak and
had dead spots.

Any suggetions?

When I wanted to improve my wireless connectivity around the house, which
is big and 2 story with many rooms, I bought a cheap wired ethernet
wireless access point on sale - Airlink AP421W - and found/used a point
much more centrally located (with few walls to penetrate or corners to go
around) than the router's location (in a corner computer room's corner
under a desk) and ran an ethernet connection to the central open spot and
connected the AP there.

Everything is fine now at minimal cost.
