    extending range/boosting power on netgear prosafe 3205

    I have talked to hp tech support which is pretty lame but NOTHING compares to netgear....their answer to everything is "radio interference from satellite"....must be a popular theory in the Philippines. Nothing like talking to a "tech support" moron that knows less about wireless than my dog. At...

    extending range/boosting power on netgear prosafe 3205
