Hi All,
Firstly, I apologise for a) possibly repeating a topic that has been
discussed before and, b) not being technically minded, so please be gentle
with me.

I have a home desktop and laptop network at my house in Turkey. The house is
built of concrete and therefore, the wireless signal gets weak around the
house. I have a Draytek-Vigor 2800VG router and would like to improve my
signal. Do you guys have any ideas? And please in a language even I would
understand.

Regards

Ps. The laptop relies on its built in wireless card. The desktop is located
right next to the router.

One thing you could do is distribute Internet around your home by
using power-line adapters instead of wireless adapters. These connect
from your Internet modem (cable or DSL or ADSL) to an electrical-power
outlet in your house and then in any other outlet in the house you
simply plug in an adapter, the other end of which is RJ45 (ethernet)
or USB to your PC. This would not give you the portability you are
looking for, but it is one way to solve the problem without running
lots of wires.
