hey all,
I've got a wireless router (804 or something...a pretty basic model), and I need to extend the wireless signal. I want a wireless extender for this network in a far-away room to use a laptop with. I also need the laptop to be able to see the other devices plugged into the 804. I can run a CAT5 cable to/from the 804 to wherever we need to place this extender (or whatever device will work). I purchased a Linksys Wireless Extender, but had to return it because it didn't work.
I saw this new NETGEAR HD / Wireless Gaming kit, but I don't think it will work for 50 feet away, since it appears there is no way to hardwire a signal between the two routers (or whatever they are): http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16833122219
Any suggestions are really, really helpful. I'm not good at all with this wireless networking blanket stuff.
Thanks,
Rup
