WiFi Signal Strength
      #382550 - Sat Feb 02 2008 09:38 AM

Hi, I live in a long granite house (converted farm building) and can't get the wifi signal from my BT Homehub Router to reach the extreme ends of the house - signal strength drops off. Is there a device for boosting the wifi signal strength or extending its range? Thanks

Yep, Google is the answer.

More than one of those thick walls will leave you with no signal. I would advise putting a cat5e cable in from the hub to the other end, and either attaching a wireless access point to it, or just use it as a wired connection on the other side of the house.

A few handy tips >>Here<<
I live in a Welsh cottage with walls over three foot thick and connect with a BT Home Hub. I have a computer in my outside workshop twenty yards from the hub and can connect via wireless OK. This I did by simply positioning the hub in a sensible place.
