How to boost the range of my modem/router

[madzie]

Hello,
my family and i have a games room/6 by 12 shed that used to be used for all our pc, gaming consoles etc. it hasnt been used in years and the internet is now over in the house. finally started using it again and want to boosted the signal over to the shed, the shed is aprox 20m from the house i do get a signal over there but it is very weak. i have an old modem/router from passed internet providers and was wondering if and how i could use it to boost the signal. the phone line also runs into the shed if that helps.

If you had just a regular router you could set it up as an access point to extend your range, putting it maybe just inside the door of the house that leads to the shed. You could also look into getting a signal booster to attach to the main connection in the house. Or if you feel like dishing out a bit of money they make outdoor signal boosters as well.

I'm pretty sure even if you have a wireless router, you can disable it's "wireless" feature and then connect an Access Point closer to your gaming shed.

But I've also been looking into signal boosters and I been checking out this Diamond WR300N, it looks simple and easy to use.
