| 761518 | 2009-04-07 01:54:00 | Thanks for the reply Blam. Already had it set at 70 though. | stormdragon (6013) | ||
| 761519 | 2009-04-07 05:53:00 | How bad is the range? It should be quite good, you could set up another repeater if you want. Or you could make the antenna better with tinfoil.... |

| 761520 | 2009-04-07 08:29:00 | Really bad. I'm going to try to take the router outside tomorrow with a laptop and see how far I get. | stormdragon (6013) | ||
| 761521 | 2009-04-07 12:15:00 | Unfortunately the range on the gc models does seem to suck somewhat :-/ Im trying to figure out a way to do something about it from the software level ... | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 761522 | 2009-04-07 23:53:00 | Is there a significant improvement with the GU? If so might just convince the boss to go buy one. | stormdragon (6013) | ||
| 761523 | 2009-04-08 00:01:00 | I have a GU and the range is great. I do have 2,(1 set up as a repeater), but even with one I recall the range was reasonable good in the house |

| 761524 | 2009-04-08 00:05:00 | Cheers Blam, the setup going to be used in a bigger environment then a standard house, so was thinking of using repeaters anyway. Do you guys reckon on of these (www.qmb.co.nz) would give the GC a significant boost? |

| 761525 | 2009-04-08 00:20:00 | It might-but its still omni directional so I wouldn't say for sure. If most PCs are within a specific range of the router I would recommend a hi-gain directional antenna |

| 761526 | 2009-04-08 11:45:00 | Don't forget that boosting the router power is only one part of the equation. Not much use if the PC Tx can't get a signal back! | linw (53) | ||
| 761527 | 2009-04-09 04:43:00 | Not specifically, AFAIK they ship with a 5dbi antenna, and that one you linked to is either a 5dbi or 6dbi == no gain :( If Im wrong, and it ships with a 3dbi antenna, then possibly, yes, it would make a difference |
