Boost wireless router range

[Platyply]

I have a Belkin N1 Wireless Router and there is no signal on the other end of the house, what can I buy to extend the signal to the other end of the house?

Thanks!

Option 1. Daisy chain with one CAT5e wire.

Can be done with any Wireless Router like this, http://www.ezlan.net/router_AP.html

Option 2. Wirelessly (Without a wire), Repeater/WDS solution.

Wireless Modes - http://www.ezlan.net/Wireless_Modes.html

Can be done with Routers that support WDS or can be made into supporting WDS with 3rd party firmware.

Set WDS

Reasonably priced solution is to buy few Wireless Routers and set them as WDS system

You start with two units, and continue until everything is covered.

Please Note that most Routers do not do WDS as is.

Example for one that does, http://www.newegg.com/Product/...181218&Tpk=zxell%2b550

Some Routers do WDS after Flashing a 3rd party firmware (Linksys WRT54GL).

The base unit that is attached to the Modem should be configured, as a regular Wireless Routers.

WDS units configured like this, http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/tut...ls/article.php/3628576


P.S. D-Link and Netgear 802.11g Routers do not support WDS and cannot be Flashed with 3rd party firmware.
