| 779051 | 2009-06-02 07:29:00 | We have recently moved house and I find that the distance between the modem and the PC room may be effecting its performance. Is there a criteria for the distance from the router to PC or Lan to PC ? All advice received most thankfully |

| 779052 | 2009-06-02 07:35:00 | Depends what wireless youre using now (B,G, or N). And whats between the router / AP and the connected PC (ie: walls etc). On how far they'll go | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 779053 | 2009-06-02 08:38:00 | Well....generally the closer you are the better connectivity therefore the higher speeds you get. Its different with every router, and depends on what type of wireless you're using and if there are any walls + devices in the way of the signal. Blam |

| 779055 | 2009-06-02 21:57:00 | B / G /N are types of wireless standards: en.wikipedia.org You probably cannot boost the signal from your router, but you can buy a repeater, which will extend the wireless signal, or buy a cheaper router and convert to a repeater(DIY) Blam |

| 779057 | 2009-06-02 23:43:00 | the most reliable & cheapest way would be with ethernet cables instead of wireless connection of course | Nictech (14748) | ||
| 779058 | 2009-06-03 02:33:00 | You could just try putting the router in a more central location in the house. | ubergeek85 (131) | ||
