879758 2010-04-25 07:47:00 Hi Everyone,

I am looking at buying a new wireless router that will boost my range so it is fast everywhere in the house . I am currently using a dlink 624S wireless G router that does not reach everycorner of the house . It is on one end of the house but is not possible to move to centre .

Is there any way to boost signal or should I just buy a new wireless N router .

If so can anyone recommend one that is long range . . .
and also I have updated firmware and changed settings to max power ect . . .

I am looking at buying a new wireless router

There are some very good aerials out there to boost the signal - could be a lot cheaper than a new n standard router?

879763 2010-04-25 23:33:00 N doesn't increase your range compared to G. It only gives better speed compared to G at the same distance.

At best, they both cut off at about the same distance. If at 5GHz, N is even shorter than G.
