Linksys Wireless Router :: How To Boost Signal Range Of WRT310N
Aug 20, 2008
How to successfully increas the signal range of the WRT310n? I live in a huge old place and the signal drops to one bar (dial-up speed) about 40 feet across the building. However, at the room before that (maybe 30 feet) my Apple Mac book gets great signal and it's no problem. I need to connect the Mac and 2 PC laptops wirelessly.I'm not sure whether to try a signal booster, set up another access point (or how to do that anyway), or what? Running a cable is unfortunately not an option.I also have a WRT300n (which was replaced this weekend with the 310n). Not sure which one really is better, but the 300n router's range didn't even make it as far as the 310n does. (There was weak signal, no active bars.) Someone suggested adding a more powerful antenna to that router instead?
I've been using the WRT310N and noticed that the range is quite poor--I've noticed this in two different houses.I've tried using an old repeater but it is a G repeater so it seems to actually make things worse i.e. a remote device will work slightly better with an unrepeated N signal than a repeated G (router is a in mixed mode).
I have Att internet services and the modem I received from them has WiFi with it. The signal that it produces is very weak. I was curious if there is any way to use my E3000 to boost or repeat the signal so WiFi will extend through out the house.
I have a new e3000 series router and on all pc's I'm using model AE1000 receivers. Now, the laptops we use work great until we go out to a room built off the main house (a seasonal porch)
I have a WRT310N router. I called the connection "Monica". Well... Monica doesn´t appear in my web and connection center. It simply doesn't exist any more, as if it was off, but it is on, all the lights are on. I checked de internet supply and it works. I don't know what to do..
I have a Cisco-Linksys WRT310N V2 Wireless-N Gigabit Router and was wondering if there is a setting (which I could not find in the admin control panel) to increase the range to catch internet connection. My house is large, and one portion has a bad connection to it because the router is sitting upstairs on the other end. If there is no setting, is there a external add on I can get to increase the internet range?
I purchased a 2nd router to boost my wireless range.in order to set this up, is all I have to do is set router 2 outside the range of the DHCP and turn OFF DHCP on router 2. Then I can successfully connect the two routers and if I am upstairs use router1 and downstairs use router2 wireless signal?What would be the pros/cons of using the same SSID? I know one benefit would be not having to set-up each device to connect to the new network name of router 2, but IDK what problems this could ensue. One immediate problem I can think of is if a device could not connect I wouldn't know which router (router1 or router2) the device was unable to connect to immediately.
boost the signal of a wireless router using another wireless router what I mean is that am receiving wireless signal but it is weak can I use another wireless router in my place to boost the signal>
I used to have a DLINK router which covered my whole house with its Wifi signal. After upgrading to the SRP541W router, only the very close vicinity of the router has any acceptable level of signal to use devices. I seriously need to improve WIFI range to accomodate my small business. I asked the Live chat technician and the answer was "This device does not support external antennae" and then silence. Okay it is not supported but what I am looking for is a solution, not a dead end.
For example, is there a cisco repeater/extender that I could deploy that works with the SRP541W router? Any experience adding one long cable and putting one antenna at a different location of the house?
I would just like to know if this will work. I have 2 Linksys wireless routers, 1 is located downstairs, connected to the cable modem and setup wireless, the other is on the second floor on the other side of the house. I need to extend the wireless range but also keep the 2 pcs upstairs connected through the Ethernet cable.
Router A Connected downstairs to modem 192.168.1.1 DHCP enabled (Change scope to leave out the .2) WPA on wireless setup channel 11
Router B Give it a static ip of 192.168.1.2 Connect cable from wall to any LAN port on router
Setup WPA using same SSID and PW different channel . Leave the 2 pc's connected as before.
The other 2 hardwired PCs should get an address from Router A and be able to connect to the internet?Does this make sense and should it work?
What is the easiest way to boost the the signal from a wireless router(1 year old), weak signal going into a different room. Yes has to go around a wall into another room.
I run a small motel and having trouble with Wifi signal reaching the 2nd floor rooms sufficiently. I have heard of the terminology and it's quite daunting... you have wifi booster, access point, range expanders, repeaters, bridges...etc. Do I need one of booster/expanders/repeaters for each floor? The property is a L shape, the router is in the office on the short side.

I have my Westell model 7500 in the barn office. I need the wireless internet in the apartment that was built in the front of the barn. The living room, where I need the signal for Roku, Kindle, and laptop, is approximately 60 to 70 feet from the modem. For awhile I had a low signal strength and I could use the internet but now it is nonexistent in the apartment. The Westell was provided by my internet supplier. How do I boost the signal so that I can get it in my apartment?
I purchased an apple airport extreme router to replace a linksys wireless G router. I have 2 linksys REl000 wireless N range extenders on tv and laptop. The router is working and sending out a signal, but the signal is not coming through the range extenders.
My friends and me have been playing games on our laptops over adhoc networks for years now. However, we always have to be in the same room for it to have a good network coverage.
But as we all live in the same boarding house, the rooms can get crowded very easily. We tried playing in rooms next door to each other, but even then the connection was extremely bad.
I'm clueless in any wireless hardware such as routers, but I'm wondering if there is a device which I can plug my laptop to, and then it acts as the 'hub' of the adhoc network, being able to transmit & receive the signals much further out than any of our own laptops can.
I have a wireless router that rests across the house next to the modem. The signal is too weak to reach to the other side of the house. Is there a way to boost the signal so I can get wifi from across the house or any other way to get an internet connection without several fifty foot wires going across the house?
I can never get consistent wifi in my home. I don't know if its because of the concrete walls with rebar inside them or what, but after two rooms I get literally zero wireless signal with my E3000 or WRT54G running boosted signals. Is there some router I can buy that just blasts the strongest signal possible?
I've expanded wireless internet using WDS: routers, but only with 1 boost.Is there a limit on how many times I can use WDS routers to boost a signal AND get ethernet connections out of the receiving side?
Is there any way that I can boost the WiFi signal on my laptop? It is a HP Pavilion dv7, originally had Windows Vista x64, but I wiped the HD and installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and went to the HP website to get ALL of the drivers that I needed for this specific laptop.
Region : Germany Model : TL-WDR4300 Hardware Version : V1 Firmware Version : Build 121225 Rel.37950n
I have low signal range from this WDR4300 router on both bands and especially on 5Ghz i lose my connectivity on just few meters away from the router and on other rooms in my 80m2 apartment, i also own another tp link 740n with only one antenna and the range is better with it almost covers all my apartment. Router has been reset after being updated to latest firmware and tried different configurations but im not satisfied with the signal range. Is there something i can do.
I am using Dell Inspiron 1525, 2008 model with a 1395 WiFi Mini card. The signal strength I get is very low, whereas people in the same location get good strength with other laptops like Sony etc.Is there any way of improving the signal strength without disturbing the router/modem, like some software/ hardware changes in the Laptop. Dell havent answered yet.
I'm trying to use the WET610N as a sort of access point/range extender for a single device, a remote monitoring system installed in a barn. It records temperature, power use, etc, and reports it to the internet. The barn is about 250 feet from the house where the wireless router is installed. There will be very little data flowing over the link.Setup on the WET610N went fine, and it saw the remote router at 10% strength and connected to it fine. However, when I attempt to get Status, the screen shows the headings on the left and no data on the right. Attempting to access the internet through the link on my MacBook Pro failed.
I have a WAP54G and the signal strength and range is not that great; unit manufactured in 04/2007. I have firmware version 3.04 dated Oct 31, 2005. Customer support is suggesting I upgrade the firmware to 3.04.03 but I am sure it will really do anything to the signal strength and range. Also, they suggested I download new drivers for my desktop wireless card.
How to connect my att dsl westell moden to my Linksys router. I am changing service providers from comcast to att. My router was working with my cable model but I'm unable to configure it to communicate with the dsl modem.
I am getting 22-30mbs down through my router wired and I'm only getting about half of that through wireless. Is this normal? I also have a question about the color of the internet led. The online manual says that it should be blue, but mine is green. All of the other LEDs are blue except the internet one. Not sure if that is an issue or not.
