Hello,
I have a broadband Motorola SBG6580 cablemodem that feeds internet into my main home computer via a cable. The modem is also a wireless router.
The modem is in an "office-room" inside my house.
The main bedroom is located about 25 meters, with two bedrooms in between the office-room and the main bedroom.
I broke a leg so I figured I could work on bed, but I have this problem: the signal from the motorola wireless router is so low at the main bedroom that the connection drops all the time.
Oddly (or maybe not), I can see like 10 other access points, presumably from my neighbors, all with a full signal. And I live in a "full-floor" apartment so I only have neighbors above and below.
I connected a linksys WRT54G2 that I have and I get the exact same problem. The signal from the linksys or the motorola are way too low.
So, what do I have to buy to fix this? A new access point or router with a better range? How do I know which one would fix the problem?
TIA
