I am picking some brains here and see what you all can suggest.
I seem to have problem getting reliable wireless connection in my house.
I've tried a dozen different 802.11g routers/access points. I've also tested 2 802.11n access points.
In my master bedroom I can hardly get any signal strength.
Even with my latest laptop with the intel 5300 N card with 3x3 antenna, I can not establish a reliable connection.
There is only 1 other AP in the area and it is pretty weak (about 10 to 20% signal strength from within my house). so I don't think it is causing that much interference.
My house is only 2400 sqft. I've used my laptop at a work site with a single 802.11n AP and I was able to maintain connection throughout the entire 20000 sqft building. (even in a lead sealed xray room).
So besides buying an $800 cisco 802.11n AP, what else can I try to get better coverage at home?
I can spend about $100 max if it will work.
Thanks!
