Wireless Network Advice
I currently have a D-Link "g" router from which I have my PCs hooked to. However, for some reason, it really has trouble transmitting/recieving to my living room from my office (It's not THAT far, but it is a victorian house with plaster/tile/etc.), and it's getting frustrating. Signal strength is REALLY low and I can barely use the laptop, let alone the wireless bridge on my xbox.
I have heard from other ignoramuses that the "b" format routers are stronger, and have less problems like I have. But looking at the transmit power specs on the B model and G model, they appear to be the same. I really wouldn't care if I had a "b" - my ISP is only 5mbit, never goes over 3.5, and I rarely transfer huge files between PCs, so 10mbit would be more than enough.
So my question is:
Would buying a B router solve this problem?
Can I hack the DI-624 router with my solder gun and some components to pump out more power? I looked on google extensively and failed to find much.
Is there a certain brand of router that pumps out much more transmit power?
