Wireless help 8p
« on: June 07, 2012, 02:22:02 am »
This seems like a friendly place so I thought I would ask.

I'm trying to fix my wireless problems. I am to far away from my base. Does anyone know about things like repeaters/extenders to know how to pick one properly? I have a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833166073 connecting to a moxi gateway from cable company. I'm trying to figure out how to get a repeater that doesn't cut the bandwidth in half. Is there any way to do it.

Previously I had a bad reception in the corner in the living room where 1 desktop was placed. Not very far from the router, but walls + furniture in the way. Problem solved by attaching an extended antenna who's cable could be screwed onto the wifi card instead of the original antenna. The extended antenna was placed a bit higher on the wall, reception was good. The other diy solution maybe a cantenna on the router and your wifi card.

I did the foil arch behind the gateway thing but it's not really doing much. I think I have too many walls. I'm trying to figure out it any repeaters don't cut the bandwidth in half. I wasn't sure if it was just one antenna ones or if they all do it or if any odd variation of them wouldn't do it.
