Hi, I need your help in improving my wireless connection of my desktop PC. I cannot use an ehternet connection on it because the router is too far.
ISP: Arnet (Argentina) 10Mbps
Router: ZyXEL 660HW-T1 V3 802.11g
Wireless adapter: TP-Link TL-WN751ND 802.11b/g/n PCI Wi-Fi Adapter
Motherboard: Asus M5a97 R2.0 Chipset 970 Am3+ Usb3 Sata3
Power Supply: Thermaltake TR-700P
Operating System: Windows 8.1 64Bits
We have 2 desktop PCs, 2 laptops and 4 smartphones connected to the LAN
The problem is.. the router and my PC are separated about 10 m(32ft), with two walls between them. Moving the router to another location is not an option. I made a little sketch:
Besides, the PCI WiFi adapter anthena ended up in a pretty unconvinient location, between the case and a brick wall, close to the floor:
I'm getting an avarage signal of 30~40%.
How do I increase the wifi signal? I'm thinking of replacing the router for a dual band 802.11b/g/n router (TL-WDR4300) and buying a USB wireless adapter so I can put it in the front of the case and get a better signal. Is that the way to go?
Thanks!
