Best ADSL router & WIFI extender?

[ChadKay]

Hi guys,

I currently have a Netgear N300 DGN2200 ADSL modem from Telkom which works pretty well and can pick up the wifi in all rooms except one in my house. In the room which I receive no wifi from the modem, I have a Netgear N300 Wifi range extender which is always giving me problems. I have to reset it dailys (most of the time twice a day) and am looking for a better alternative. I was thinking maybe an airport express? Anything else you guys could add will be a lot of help!

get the extender which uses your electrical wiring.

Just pop units in at power point in whichever room you need wifi.

I would have gone with the one which uses your electrical wiring

you could get somthing like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833122013

I also have a Neatgear DGN1000 with this AP on the other side of the house but it runs with a cable becuase my router can repeat the signal

If im not mistaken that router you have can repeat the connection. So this AP will work nicely

Or you could run a cable like ive done and then have 2 or 3 SSID Names like the main router would be yournetworkname and then the AP would be yournetworkname_EXT and so on but this way is very tedious.

it would be alot easier if you repeat the signal.

I also have a Netgear DGN2200N and it's wireless is CRAP, so i bought one of these,

i then turned off my wifi on the netgear and this little trendnet wireless extender is now located in my roof and covers my whole house. i am really impressed with trendnet products.
