My wireless router is on the first floor and on the other side of the house from where my room is. Because of this, my laptop has a hard time keeping connection to it and my Nintendo DS can't even connect to it. I do have my desktop in my room which is on a wired connection. I'm looking for something I can connect my desktop to so I can get an internet connection to my laptop and Nintendo DS and other devices in general. Does anyone have an idea?
5 port ethernet switch and wireless access point. use the current hardwired connection in ur room to a 5 port switch then plug a wireless access point into it for wifi in ur room.
A range extender would do the trick. E.g like one of these (depending whether you need N or g): wifi repeater - BestBuy
Depends on where you are shopping, and what quality of access point you are looking for, but it's another option
yeah true, last time i used a high gain antenna, they were pretty expensive, but thats Australia for ya!!! lol
Would that be something like this?: Newegg.com - BUFFALO WLI-UC-GNHP IEEE 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 Wireless Adapter WPA2, WPA-PSK (AES, TKIP), 128/64-bit WEP
Would this essentially be a wireless access point where I plug an Ethernet cord into it for it to get access to my main router or does it connect wirelessly?
