I am looking for a range booster you can plug into an outlet to increase the signal in another part of a house. The wireless router is a Dlink wireles N. So far in my local stores I have found only a Linksys - 802.11g Wireless-G Range Expander, (which I believe would not be compatable), and a Hawking Technology - Hi-Gain 802.11n Wireless-N Range Extender. Does anyone have an opinion?
Thank you.
All of the range extenders are brand specific. And the Linksys is problematical both in terms of performance and working with some of Linksys own hardware. I'd think about better antennas for the clients. http://www.buffa******.com/products/...-flat-antenna/
How big is that house? ( Are you installing a wireless setup in Ferrit's mansion? ) The router is a N series, and they shoot the signal a considerable distance.
The house is a little over 3500 sq ft plus the basement. The wireless router is at one end in the basement and the office is at the other on ground level. Half way from the router the signal drops to (2) bars, by the time I reach the office, no bars.Quote:

Thanks NooNoo, will take ths in to consideration.
