Greetings, I have a small wireless issue and I'm hoping tome of the
collective experience here can help me out.
I curretnly have Cable and a cable modem connected to a Netgear WGR614
Wireless Router, in the basement/family room on the south side of my home.
The college age kids (home for the summer) are only getting "yellow" to
"red"
reception one floor up and on the north side of the house. I thought I could
buy a
repeater, but after reading many of the compatibility stories over on
Amazon.com
of the Netgear Wireless Access point, it may not be the answer. Seems this
is an
area where model to model compatibility is an issue.
I have a number of empty wireless ports on the back of the existing router,
I am wondering
if I couldn't plug in a CAT5 cable that was 25 feet long and run it over to
the north side
of the house and just plug in another WGR614 Access point? Seems like that
might work?
Any thoughts or experience on that?
All responses and suggestions very appreciated.
Thanks!!
