Re: How to extend the range of a modem/wireless ro
Turning the wireless on or off is irrelevant if your connected via Ethernet cable. This is ALWAYS the best way to connect if possible. It is by far the fastest AND most secure.
However, a few things to check: Are you using a 2.4 gh cordless phone? They use the same frequency as most WiFi signals (5 gh 802.11n being the exception). Another thing to change is the antenna on one or both devices. Unfortunately these are not cheap, especially for a wire covered in plastic, but a better (6 to 9 dbl) antenna can do wonders.
There are actually plans on the net for modifying antennas. It involves simply making a dish-like structure of aluminum foil around the antenna and pointing it in the right direction. It actually works and MAY be the first thing you want to try.
