I bought an Router and I want to put in my room to increase the signals. I installed my router and then i put in my room it isnt working. It works when I connect Router with modem. My Modem is in other room and I want put Router in other room thats why I can not connect Router with Modem. Is it there a way connecting to my Router without direct connecting it with Modem? Please Help.

I'm fairly new to networking, so if you
can give detailed answers it will be appreciated.

You do not need to have your router next to your modem. You must, however, attach the modem to the router WAN port.

The best solution is to attach the router to the modem where the modem sits and then use a pair of powerline adapters to get a good signal to the other room, and either connect directly to your computer or to another router configured as an access point. That will increase your wireless coverage to the area near the other room. You can connect your computer to one of the 3 remaining LAN ports (one will connect to the second powerline unit) on the WAP, as the LAN ports are just a switch when a router is set as an AP.

What is the make and model of the router? It must be able to support extender/repeater mode or bridge mode.

If it doesn't support these functions, then you'll need to run a cable to this router or purchase a model that does have the ability to wirelessly extend your network.
