how to improve my wireless ??

[ctcsoft]

I'm looking for a way to really improve my wireless signal. I bought a brand new Belkin N1 Vision router.

My problem is that I have a larger house. 3 levels. Also outside in my garage I have a loft which is where I do alot of working and repairing on things.

Out in the loft is where I really have the most trouble. The signal is very week. I had a linksys repeater in the past with my old linksys router and I hated it. It didn't improve much for me.

Anyone have a suggestion for me?

Where is the wireless router located? Should be on the top floor...

laptops or desktops? If they're desktops, use a PCI adapter with an upgraded antenna. (Dlink makes a good/cheap one)

That's what I use when people have "borderline" reception, it usually solves the problem. It works with most PCI cards...

Change your channel to 1, 6, 11, that normally takes care of everything.

Its in my basement because thats where most the computer, game playing goes on. Plus I wouldn't want to run ethernet cables from top floor to basement for printers, computers w/o wireless cards etc.

You just need one cable to a good spot and plug there an Access Point.

Then put in the computers this, http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16833315041
