My signal currently barely reaches the basement where I often use my
laptop and is frequently unusable. The router is an old 802.11b
Belkin model that has permanent antenna, nor do they sell a repeater
that I can find. Running a hard line to the basement is also not an
option.
Netgear advertises on their new 108mbps router that it increases the
range as well as the rate. Looking to see if that would fix my
problem. Don't really need the rate (although it would be nice at
times), but I do need a more reliable signal that doesn't force me to
constantly fiddle with the laptop position to get a good signal.
Comments, experiences, opinions, etc... would be greatly appreciated.
They are on sale this week at CompUSA and I would like to make up my
mind before the sale is over.
Thanks in advance!
