Re: [Connection Sharing] Source is fixed downstairs -- please he
spiffy:
What 'vectravl400' say is good to a point. You can increase the power of the router, but if it can not hear the other wireless device you still do not get a connection. I have used the increase of power with that router and dd-wrt firmware and it does have applications.
If you put an antenna with dB gain in the mix you improve the sending and the receiving capabilities of the unit. You do not say what your router is, but if you can remove the antenna via a connector I would look into getting a higher dB gain antenna. That scenario has work for me also in the past.
The link by 'greenwood' helps with defining what type of connector you might need.

| Thanks for everyone's input. My router is a D-Link DGL-4300. But I have disabled the wifi part and use my Belkin Pre-N router as wireless access point. The PC & Slingbox I am trying to connect are one floor directly above the room where the incoming cable modem is located. If I were to get a dB gain directional antenna, where in the downstairs room should I mount it for the signal to travel through floors? And which shape of antenna would be most effective?
Thanks again |
