Maybe I will call verizon before I purchase anything. -----Original Message----- From: Mike Boyd Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2014 11:06 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] How to increase WiFi strength Unfortunately, a WiFi signal repeater will do nothing to strengthen the WiFi signal, it will only take a weak signal and send it farther out. I had this problem where my computer was only about 10 ft. from my router, and only showed to have a signal strength of 35%. I also had another computer in a bedroom, about 30 ft away from my router, and it could not connect at all. The remedy to this problem is to purchase a WiFi range extender or adapter. This nifty little deal will first amplify the signal coming from the router, and then broadcast it over a wide area, usually around a 300 meter radius. This can also be had from Amazon, best buy or most electronics stores. You will want one with a speed of at least 300 Mb/s, and with todays internet speeds, one with a 10/1000 transfer rate. Some good brands are: NetGear, TP Link, Belkin, Linksys,and D-link. An average price for one that will suffice is around $50 to $75, and you can find them on sale in the $40 range for the lower end ones. hth, Mike blindb...@comcast.net For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
