Networking Problem

lokiman

Hi all,

Networking isn't my forte, so any advice on a solution here would be gratefully received: I have my broadband via BT, and have a BT Home Hub to which I connect wirelessly. I've just bought a second computer which sits in another part of the house. Unfortunately, the wireless signal strength is poor for the location of the second computer, but I want both computers to connect wirelessly to the hub. Is there something that I can buy that will be compatible with the BT Home Hub to boost the signal strength, or otherwise solve this problem. Moving the hub itself is not, unfortunately, an option at this point.

Thanks.

Moving the Hub is probably your best option, even changing the orientation of it will affect how the wireless signal is radiated, experiment.

You can purchase an access point or maybe a gaming router? Something like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-802-11g-Wireless-Extender-Access/dp/B00008XYJ5

Thanks, guys. I'll fiddle with the orientation of the existing Home Hub and, if that gets me no joy, I'll buy a range extender. Cheers.
