> The router is in my garage (16'x16') which has been converted to my study. I just realsised that when the conversion was carried out, I chose the best insulation product for the walls ceiling and floor (Polyurathane foam, Aluminium foil backing). Nice and warm but I assume it is not much good for the signal to travel through!!! Rohit >

"No signal" is hard to measure or improve. I have no signal from my home wireless when I am at work. That would be hard to boost enough to make it work. "low signal" can be improved quite nicely for free. http://www.freeantennas.com EZ-12, printed on photo paper for thick stock, with aluminum foil glued to the sail, provides a substantial boost in signal. http://www.rahul.net/dold/clarence/EZ12-windsurfer.jpg http://www.rahul.net/dold/clarence/windsurfer-dining.JPG The signal with the reflector is not only 13dB stronger, it's more stable. I use a glue stick to glue the foil to the paper before I cut out the template. When you cut out the "windsurfer" part, leave the tabs sticking out farther than the drawing shows. I spend more time trying to tape the little tabs in place than anything else. -- --- Clarence A Dold - Hidden Valley (Lake County) CA USA 38.8,-122.5 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Probably the easiest solution is to put a WiFi Repeater (aka Range Expander) in a part of the house that has signal, which can relay signal to parts of the house that don't have signal; e.g, Netgear 54 Mbps Wireless Access Point Model WG602 <http://www.netgear.com/products/details/WG602.php> in Repeater
Mode.
Another option is the Netgear 54 Mbps Wall-Plugged Wireless Range Extender Kit Model WGXB102 <http://netgear.com/products/details/WGXB102.php>.
