Good day
I need some help on how to increase the wireless coverage in my house.
I currently have a BT Home Hub which I can get an acceptable wireless signal from in about half the house and a poor signal in quarter of the house and no signal in the other quarter!
I have 2 spare routers. 1 is a Netgear N150 Wireless Modem Router DGN1000 and the other is a Linksys Wireless-G ADSL Home Gateway WAG200G. I have the username and passwords for the user interfaces.
My question is how do I go about utilising one (or both) of these routers to increase the wireless coverage in the rest of the house? I’m quite willing and able to run Cat5 cabling or phone cabling or whatever is required to the new location.
I’m a bit confused from reading some other posts as to whether I would have to turn off the wireless function of the Home Hub in order to set up a separate WAP – if this is the case then it slightly defeats the object of the additional WAP, as I’d still have half the house with poor signal coverage!
I’m afraid I’m not a whizz-kid on networks and wireless networks but I have played about a bit with router settings on the user interfaces etc.
Thanks in anticipation of your help!!!
