I have the following situation... My wireless router and modem are located in the basement. My office is on the second floor. I work from home occasionally so I use a Cisco soft phone. I have been getting complaints from people I call that my voice breaks up (which can be annoying).
Thinking it was my bandwidth, I upgraded my service and I get pretty decent speed. Still the same issue.
I then tried going directly from the router to my computer and the issue goes away.
I have several options: 1- Move the router to the office. 2- drop a line down to the router from second floor. 3- bridge a router as an access point and then have a wired connection.
Option 1 is not feasible due to where the cable comes in and other logistical problems.
Option 2 is difficult because of the fire stops in the walls as well as insulation.
Option 3 sounds promising but I am not sure if I will get the same results as if I went directly to the router.
Any ideas, recommendations would be appreciated.
