Sorry..........I have one wifi router (no name) attached to a DSL modem. It
has no wifi clients, just cabled to one computer.
I'm 50 feet away in another house with poor LOS. What I was trying to figure
out is if I could use my new Buffalo router as a stand alone relay to bypass
the obstacles. Since, I've read where it takes (usually) the same brand to
use a router as a repeater. It's too complicated in any case.........
I'm getting a poor signal (but able to connect, but not use) the network
using a USB adapter in my client. I'm now playing with antennas (home
grown), to push the signal. I'm making one dish for the server router, and a
another for the USB adapter. Early results are promising. Just playing
around now.
If this don't work, I'm going to take Jeff's advice and just run CAT 5. Any
good sources for outside stuff?
Thanks for replying. |
