I've had a long-running issue with intermittent dropouts using my wireless receiver that came with my mobo. It has two honking antenna's, but still it has to contend with several walls and a beefy upper floor structure.
Would it be better to purchase another router that can receive the signal and then LAN it to my PC or would it be better to buy a WAP to relay the signal ?
I'm not really savvy with networking, so correction on what functions I should expect from a WAP is welcome. I have a humongous ugly wrinkled ethernet cable slithering through the house and my landlord isn't a fan.
