Please log in for more thread options Have posted something along this line to 24support, however, I've given things more thought so perhaps someone here can advise. I need to boost a wireless signal as the belkin modem/router won't reach the top of my house. Is there something I can install wirelessly in the middle to boost the signal. I have been reading the manual on (say) the DWL-G700AP and it looks like it needs to be hardwired (or am I mistaken). Help appreciated. Nick | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

However bear in mind that this will halve your bandwidth. I can't recommend any particular unit. >I have been reading the manual on (say) the DWL-G700AP and it
>looks like it needs to be hardwired (or am I mistaken). Thats an access point, so yes it'd have to be hardwired. This is by the way the best solution - move your AP as high as possible in your house. Have you considered powerline networking? -- Mark McIntyre | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(if anyone thinks I am mistaken, please tell me).
