I currently have a wireless router conneted to my cable modem. The only thing connected to the router is my Verizon network extender. I now have to move my wireless router but need to keep the cable modem and wireless extender where they are. I can cable to the wireless router but do not want...
I currently have an old WRT54GS. The router still works great within a certain range in our house. The problem is that I now need the wireless to reach the far bedrooms which are 50ft from the router location (not movable) and must penetrate several walls (plus a piano). Currently I can get 1...
