Extending WIFI range

davedennis — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 18:15:05 GMT

We have BT Business Broadband with a BT2700HGV hub but the signal does not extend to all parts of our house because the walls are very dense.

Is there a piece of equiment we can buy to extend the signal range?

We have a number of electrical circuits in the house so the plug in wife access point option doesnt really work.

Any help appreciated but please keep any replies non teccy lol

Thanks

Great Typo!

If you do not mind running the cable, which can be hidden, then put a second wireless access point in the network. There are plenty of WAPs available, or if you have an old/spare 2700 you can use that.

I have the router and three or four additional WAPs to cover here and all are wired back to the main router.

There is also another option for you to purchase those wireless repeaters. All they do is just repeate and amplify wifi signals.

You just add access point in you network that will increase the range of your wifi range.
