Every house is required by law to have vents that go from the plumbing
out thru the roof. In old houses, these vents are usually metal, and
usually cast iron.
Go outside and look at your roof.

Neal,
Thanks for your insight. No cast iron in the walls but a 6 ft
section in the cellar.
Some of the wiring in the ceiling is old bx but most is romex.
I think I will try Lee or Nora's suggetion.

As an old retired architect, I would guess that your big problem is
not
the brick separation wall at all, but something metal in your house,
such as cast iron vent and sewer pipes, and possibly even electrical
cables and such. I am sorry to say that such items frequently block
electrical signals, and relocation is not often very practical.

I live in a 3 story victorian era home.
The front part of the house is separated from the back part by an 18"
thick brick wall (of course there are doors between the front and
back
sections.
There are only 2 rooms on the third floor both over the front part of
the house.
My internet connection (Bellsouth DSL connected to a Cisco/Linksys
wireless routher) comes in to the house in the front room on the
second floor.
I receive a good signal (3 bars) in the front rooms on the 1st,
2nd, and
3rd floors. The 3rd floor has only two rooms. I receive an ok
signal (2
bars) in the back room on the 3rd floor and a good signal in the 2nd
floor room immediately behind the front room.
For the back part of the house it's a different story.
In the two back rooms on the second floor I receive an ok signal
and in
the 2nd room on the 1st floor I get an ok signal but in the other two
rooms (the ones on the other side of the 18" brick wall) on the 1st
floor I don't get any wireless signal at all.
Is there anything I can do to get a wireless signal to the back of my
house to improve the signal I receive on the first floor and to get
the
signal to the back two rooms and deck on the first floor?
Thanks.
