Its attached via cable to the dsl modem which is attached via cable to the desktop computer. there is very little room to move here but I do have 30m or so of cat5 so I "could" move the access point a couple rooms over to avoid the fuse box being in the "line of sight"

The house is fairly old, 70's I would say, did they use foil-gib back then?

472604 2006-07-22 05:51:00 I remember someone posting here that the best place to put the AP is in the roof space: so if you can drill a hole in the ceiling, and put the AP in the roof space somewhere, it won't be going through the switchboard to get to where you want the signal to go. somebody (208)
