Re: Extending my Wireless Signal
Just had a thought - my existing modem/router -Netgear ADSL2+ Modem Router DG834G is "G" standard.Maybe i should buy a new one that is "N" standard and that might solve the signal problem. egNETGEAR Wireless-N 150 Router with DSL Modem DGN1000 - Wireless router + 4-port switch .Worth trying first?taRodOn 26/01/2010, at 6:04 PM, Rod Blitvich wrote:Cool!Thanks Stuart!I think I'll give it a go!cheersRodOn 26/01/2010, at 5:52 PM, Stuart Evans wrote: Hi Rod, I’ve got a Netgear DG834G and an Airport Express.
