Re: Extending a 2Wire DSL wireless modem/router
I have the exact same DSL modem/router/wireless and I gave up on the wireless portion a long time ago. The internal antenna just isn't up to the job. The cheapest way to go, in my opinion, is simply to get an Airlink AP which can work in plain old wireless G mode, Super G 108 mode (or as a bridge/repeater but that's not the issue here). Of course, any AP should do the job. I do buy APs that come with removable antennas since those dinky little 2dbi antennas don't work that well. I use 6-7dbi high gain antennas made by Hawking or Airlink (whichever is cheaper) and get great signal strength throughout my house. Good luck.

Airlink AP

Hawking 6dbi high gain antenna with TNC adapter that plugs into most standard APs like Airlinks.
However, any AP you can find at Best Buy or CompUSA should work just fine. |
