1338252 2013-04-24 06:17:00 I have a Lynksys WAG120n router in my garage which is connected to garage PC ethernet and this also feeds Toshiba laptop wireless with no problems in my lounge which is through a hallway then connects in lounge

Then at the end of the line I have a new win 8 desktop which has a TP Link pci wireless adaptor with antenna TL-ANT2405C and the only way to get this to work satisfactorily is to plug in a an old Belkin wireless router to WAG120n, appx 25 metres away In garage 1st connection.

Do I need the TP-Link TL-ANT2406A for more gain, or do I need to bite the bullet and upgrade my main router.

Eveb better, download inSSIDer onto the Laptop - this will give you good info.
