Wireless Network Extension

[BenniemanZA]

Hi there,

I have recently moved my office at home to a different room.

I make use of wireless internet at home (all the wired connections are already used up).
However I find the wireless strength to be much less in the new office.

What type of product would you suggest to help me get a better signal here.

Thanks for any help.

Couple of options or use combinations....

Move wireless switch closer to the new office
Get a switch and run a wire to new office
Run wire to office and get a wireless access point
Use powerline networking adapters (instead of wire)

Use ethernet over power adapters, I'd suggest Billion. Or a Billion BiPAC WiFi repeater

Personally I'd rather go for an extra access point.

Wired is the cheapest method IMO, but Powerline networking is the most expensive.

You can get an Access Point for under R400 if you look in the right places.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Considering the extra access point option.

Your other option is a range extender/repeater. They range between R250 -R400. The one for R400 is a small one that plugs directly into a wall socket.
