Can I boost my signal?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

I have the microsoft wireless router MN-700. Can I use any wireless router
booster to send my signal for greater coverage? If so, what brand. It is
802.11g. Any help would be appreciated.

I am using my MN-700 in a MH parked on my sons property. I am using my
router with his Sat internet. He had a DLink DWL-800AP+ repeater from an
older application, so I set it up and have it in the MH to boost the signal.
I now connect to his system at 54 Mbps. I have the MN-700 set up with WEP
and MAC filtering, but the repeater is open.

No, I connected the MN-700 to the Sat modem, and connected his computer to
the MN-700 with a cable. Now the modem/router signal is available 24/7. I
have a MN-720 for my laptop, but the signal in the MH wasn't as strong as I
like because he has a tin roof, so set up the DLink as a repeater between
the MN-700 and my laptop. The DLink just sits on the sunvisor of the MH and
repeats the signal in both directions.

Sorry about that. I thought you meant that the 700 was wired to the DLink
instead of the DLink being a remote wireless repeater:

"You're wired with the MN-700 to the DLink, correct?"

Barb, do the terms 'repeater' and 'ap client' refer to the same function?

Ok, then the DLink 8xx AP client function you referred to is not the DLink
8xx wireless repeater function I am using.
