There's little objective measure of strength because the power output is regulated by, well, not law, exactly; here in the US it's regulated by, FCC regulation.
If you have a techie friend, I'd suggest just getting one of the routers that can have DD-WRT installed on it. I use an 'Asus WL-520' (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320023&cm_re=dd-wrt-_-33-320-023-_-Product)as a repeater and it's been flawless. I'd also suggest newegg.com as a place to look at customer reviews, which is about as close as you'll get to reliability ratings. All that said, before you start looking at all this - how close are your nearest neighbors? Could you be having an interference problem with one of their routers? If that's a possibility (and if you can), it might be worth changing the 'channel' that your router is using. If it's like the US, it came set to 6. Try 1 or 11. It could be as simple as that. -- bobkoure ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bobkoure's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14646 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87094 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
