wireless broadband sharing, two PCs in home

Often moving the wireless router or access point higher in the room will improve signal reception. Another possibility is trying a different channel on the router. If it's at Channel 6, try 1 or 11. More drastic measures include adding a wireless "access point" that's closer to the client location, but that involves running Ethernet between the access point and the router. Also, some wireless access points/routers can be set up as wireless repeaters, as described here.

We experimented with different antennas and access point locations before settling on two access points in opposite ends of the house.

Thanks Jim:

Didn't think I'd get such an in-depth response and so soon as well! I'll try the simplest suggestion first, then work down the list until I get the results.

Thanks for giving up part of your Sunday to help!

There is one other suggestion you might try. I had similar issues and simply bought a better antenna. With an addition 5db it made all the diff for just £30.

David

Thanks, David.

I'll look into that if the other suggestions don't work. Actually, I'll try the least complicated solutions first!

Thanks again.
