Router WiFi Question
 

I'll move this to tech talk soon...

For you techies out there...

I have DSL Internet coming in to my office. I have a couple hardlines coming off the router and wifi. One of the hard lines run about a hundred yards over to the house. Internet works fine where we connect that line to the commuter. However, the office wifi does not function well over at the house. What to do?

1. Booster signal/antenna of some sort

2. add another router over at the house and hook to the line already there to get the wifi

3. other?

We had to get a bridge for downstairs, my office/man-cave is where the router is located is upstairs. The signal was so weak on my blue-ray player hooked to my TV (downstairs) that it would constantly cut out.

Since we have had the bridge it has worked just fine.

Bridge? Kind of like a booster? Would this be something I could locate on the office roof with a directional pointed towards my 2 story house?

I'd try something like this:

routers need to be centralized. id hard wire it. set the one near modem as server or if you don't use it wirelessly turn it off

Re: Router WiFi Question
 

you already have the line ran to the otherside

I really wish I could understand this!

Re: Router WiFi Question
 

Yes I have the line over there. Now what device do I buy to attach? Another router? I need wifi in both buildings.

Re: Router WiFi Question
 

In order for a Router's wireless range to be effective it needs to be in a central location

Otherwise since you already have a network cable ran then just buy a second router and plug that cable into the new router
