    weak wireless in parts of house

    OK. I got it working! After being on Cisco tech support with an excellent representative we got it working. Key takeaways: initially plug the AP into a nearby (to the modem/router) outlet to set it up (not sure if you HAVE to) but it sure made it easy to check its status. Also, re-start the...

    I just received the Linksys PLWK400 but it's not working over two circuits. Their online tech support confirmed that they don't support these devices over more than one circuit. [2013-01-30 20:09:48] Kevin G: I just received the PLWK400 to help extend the wifi to remote parts of our home...

    weak wireless in parts of house

    Since I have to get the powerline adapters, I think I'm going to take a chance on the Linksys PLWK400 kit which includes a wireless AP. (I guess the SBG901 is destined to sit on the shelf!) I'll let you know it works. Thank you.

    My house isn't that big (2200 sf) but my office where all the stuff is located is in the far corner of the basement (concrete foundation). We get 40+Mbps downloads and 2+Mbps uploads in our rural neck of the woods. Sounds like the power line might be the way to go. Do I need to replace my 6580...

    AP Great article! I've bookmarked that one. Just a couple of quick questions (hopefully)... Can I use the SBG901 as an access point? If I use the power line networking does it matter if the plug ins are on the same circuit? Thank you. I feel like I"m getting closer.

    weak wireless in parts of house

    Hello. My wife received an iPad for Christmas (which she loves) but we're having a hard time getting a strong wireless signal upstairs. We have a cable modem/router (Motorola 6580) ethernetted to our iMac in the office downstairs, but the signal weakly makes it. I have an old Motorola 901...
