I'm looking for a range extender for my wireless router (it's a Belkin 802.11 b/g/n router). I have some spots in the house where I don't get a good signal (metal studs in the walls, etc). Suggestions? |

George, if you like I can forward you some of the email spam I get about extending your . . . "range". |

George, See: http://www.netgear.com/home/products/wireless-range-extenders/wireless-range-extenders/wn3000rp.aspx (Note: it works with 2.4 GHz only, does not support 5 GHz.) Give it a whirl and let us know how it works out for you. |

George - I haven't done cost comparisons - but I'd likely just get a cheap second router if I were in your situation. |

(I would too ... but that solution would take a lot more keystrokes to explain, so I just gave him what he asked for in the first place. )

I was a bit surprised at you Ax - but now I see we're on the same page.

Thanks for the info, Ax. I think a cheap second router is the way to go. It's certainly the simplest, no? How difficult is it to configure one as an extender? Edited by George K, Oct 30 2011, 12:55 PM.

Depends on the base station ... there is no standard user interface for this. Apple will do it one way, Belkin will do it a different way, etc. |

Would it be of any use to change the antenna on my router? |
