For a while I had my wireless router and a separate wireless access
point (wired into the router) both set up with different SSIDs on
different channels. This gave me good coverage in the house, but
wasn't as transparent as I wanted it to be for everyone in the
household - there were the
Wifi coverage is based on a lot of factors. One of the most important is
the height of the transmitter from the ground. I moved my access point
from my first floor to my second and x10 the range. So try these in
order.
1. move your wifi router to the highest point possible. This costs you
I've managed to get Virgin Media to send me a free wireless router. It
should arrive tomorrow and I'm expecting it to be a Netgear WG614 as
shown on this page

Can any of you techies out there give me some advice on if/how this
This will be a similar setup to my own, so in theory ...
On the new router:
1. Configure the WAN side to use DHCP. It won't really matter as
there's nothing going to be connected there but that's what I did on
mine.
2. Give it a local static IP address in the same IP range as your

Thanks for that. With what you have said and some more googling I'm
beginning to get a feel for what I need to do. I'm trying to get as
much info together as possible before this latest 5 minute job.
Just one Q though. Once set up does the SBC, Boom or whatever transfer

I use a Linksys WRE54G wireless repeater for the garden. Its placed high
on the internal wall in the room next to the garden and extends the
wireless range perfectly. Don't believe what it says on the box about
needing a Linksys wireless router to connect to; that's only for auto
configuration.
How about an extension lead and a couple of homeplugs

Even at 5000 I get an average throughput of 97%. These are the same
figures I get when the Boom is on the wireless router so there is no
down side at all with the repeater.
At least for audio. I think most of these WDS/extender schemes cut wlan
bandwidth in half

True! I was thinking about the Boom and I have a small garden so would
stretch myself to walk to the Boom rather than use the Controller.
Could always put the wireless extender thingy off the homeplug.

Hi
Thinking out loud here, so there are actually two questions. Any
suggestions and advice welcome. I'm generally OK tech-wise once
pointed in the correct direction and given enough time to digest the
info.
I have 2x SBRs 1x SBC and soon will have a Boom. I have no issues with
my wireless
If you house was wired I'd suggest a second access point on that end of
the house with a directional attenna pointed out to the garden.

Q1: I've got a Linksys G router running Tomato firmware as my main AP. I
added a second configured it as a WDS helper, and it's been great for
making the back yard a more hospitable place for wireless. What was
very questionable is now very reliable. And my Controller roams between
the APs just

Hi
If I do this can I use this SBR as a wireless bridge to allow the SBC
to work in the garden?
Just to check, you're not thinking that if you have the SBR wired in
it'll pass on a wireless signal to your SBC? I'm not so sure this'll
work. Maybe i'm wrong as I only
