Internet for Beginners - extend wifi coverage


Expert: Scottgem - 7/5/2009

Question
Hi,
  I have wifi in my apartment,and would like to extend coverage to another apartment i own.
My other apartment is approx 60 metres away,with no obstructions other than two walls.Can you advise me what type of device would i require.
Regards
Trevor.

Answer
Its called a repeater. Several maunfacturers have them. You can put it in the existing apartment as close to the second one as possible or in the second apartment as close the first. You may have to experiment. You might also consider upgrading your router to 802.11n or adding high gain antennas to it.

Hope this helps
Scott<>
