(previously posted in the wrong forum I think, so
I reposted here) - sorry
Hi there, please bare with me,
I've set up my wireless network like this:
One comp upstairs, another downstairs. The one
downstairs is directly connected to the internet
through my adsl speedtouch modem. I have installed
a belkin wireless Network card into this downstairs
machine.
Upstairs I have installed a belkin ethernet card
and connected that via CAT5 crossover cables to a
Belkin Access Point that is also upstairs. The
computer upstairs connects to the internet by using
the downstairs computer as a gateway.
Now the signal between the two computers (access
point and wireless card) is very weak and unstable
- keeps disconnecting. Even tho the two computers
are less than 20ft apart from each other. (Ones
upstairs the other one is almost directly below).
As a result the computer upstairs keeps getting
disconnected to the internet.
Now, is there anyway of boosting the signal between
the access point and the wireless card? Because
there is no option of moving either computers :/
I basically need the signal to be constant and
at least at 40%.
The access point is set at channel 6 at the
moment.
Sorry for the long post, but I thought the more
information you had the easier it would be for
anyone to help me
