| 383033 | 2005-08-22 12:11:00 | Do wifi routers broadcast a stronger signal than wifi adaptors. I have a working (ad hoc) network with poor but usable signal reception at the laptop. (Modem -> g pci adaptor -> g laptop adaptor) Would adding a wireless router give significantly better signal/reception to the laptop. ie about $100 worth given cost of basic wifi router. |

| 383035 | 2005-08-22 23:08:00 | About 12-15m with a bunch of walls/doors etc in between. The network is functioning as it is, albeit not very well, and it suits to leave things where they are - am I likely to get a sig better result broadcasting from a router than simply from an adaptor as it is now. |

| 383037 | 2005-08-22 23:49:00 | You will get more signal strength from an access point than a wireless adapter. | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 383038 | 2005-08-23 00:00:00 | Thanks for that. Any comment on Gbyte BC01 PCI router card. Seems to have good review and I like the idea of an internal solution. |
