weak signal problem

Hi all,

I have just set up a netgear wireless router to send to my desk top in
another part of the house, however the signal is very weak. I suspect this
may be due to the fact the house has solid brick walls.
any suggestions to ways in which I can increase the signal strength?

Hi

You need to buy more Wireless hardware and extend the range of the Signal.

The best method depends on the specific environment; these pages describe
the most common options.

I just fixed the same problem by purchasing a 10 ft. USB extension cord,
which allowed me to put the antena closer to the router.
