Wifi range / Antena...
Posted: March 28th, 2015, 1:40 pm
I moved to a new place, renting a... lets call it.. place.. I asked the owner regarding internet, and he said he can supply the internet from his own home (which is just nearby), but only using WiFi, no cables. As last time, when too many people used the internet (that main house has a big family in it) the box couldn't handle it and crashed frequently .
Now, that is about 20-30 meters range from my PC to the router, plus there are walls in the way that interfere with the signal.
So I used an ?Antena? thingy to get a signal, it plugs by a USB, and the signal is... Usually around 6Mbits but some times it looses the signal. Making downloads and gaming quite hard.
So I took some USB Extending cables to get the antena thingy closer, but because it was too long, the data got lost on the way I guess (not a big brain on how long cables interfere with data transimition), to the verge of the PC not getting the antena itself.
Now, after browsing my inventory for possible solutions to this chaos, I found and old router I used several years ago, model - D-Link DSL-2650U.
Now, I was wondering if it is possible for me to plug this router somewhere between the houses (found a place in the middle, out of sight with a 220V input), this router will grab the wifi signal from the owners place, and will transmit it to me. Since it will have a bigger force, it will be a sort of a middle man... router.. thingy...
btw the antena I used so far (the USB one) is - TP-Link TL-WN722N
