I'm not much of a networking guy, in fact, I
know very little. But I'd appreciate any help
and insight any of you could offer to me about
my situation.
In my apartment, I am using a D-Link DI-624
Wireless Router with a Seimens SpeedStream DSL modem.
All of the laptops receive a pretty good
signal from the router - the apartment below
receives good signal as well. However, the
apartment adjacent to ours (we have a very long
apartment building) does not receive a good signal
at all. I've attempted to move the router as
close to their apartment as possible and I've
received lackluster results. The apartment is one
floor down from ours, so the wireless signal must
travel diagonally through floors and multiple walls.
I do have a second D-Link router. I'm wondering
if I can either wirelessly or used a Cat 5
cable to tie the second router into the first
router and distribute the signal to the other
apartment. How do I go about doing this?
The second router is a DLink DI524.
