| 1111746 | 2010-06-20 07:56:00 | Hi. I have wireless but it needs to cover a larger area. My main router is the standard Telecom wireless router made by Thompson. The router I want to use to extend the coverage is is a Netgear. Is there anyway i can get the Netgear router to pick up the signal and broadcast it further? Thanks |

| 1111747 | 2010-06-20 08:00:00 | you can get a better antenna i think. N series I think might provide greater distance but then again you need all the other devices to be n as well. |

| 1111748 | 2010-06-20 08:03:00 | Yeah I could do that. But I also want a desktop computer to hook up to the Netgear router via Ethernet. Just save me some cash and means i can use the gear I have already. Thanks |

| 1111749 | 2010-06-20 08:10:00 | well if you get a new one you still may put in a better antenna or just go to N series. | Nomad (952) | ||
| 1111750 | 2010-06-20 08:12:00 | Yeah ino. But im looking for a solution to my problem. Cant really afford new gear. And the gear iv got at the moment is good so i dont wanna not use it. Thanks |

| 1111751 | 2010-06-20 08:21:00 | It's called bridging mode I think, not my area of knowledge but remember seeing it mentioned here before try googling it | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1111752 | 2010-06-20 11:27:00 | Go on eBay or trademe and search up wifi antennas. They work cause I've had the same problem as you so I bought one and just changed them. Look for one compattible with your router. They are about $8NZ on eBay. You can also make a diy wifi booster. Google it. |
