    Default WiFi Extender

    I'm associated with a number of large commercial sites, many implementing a mixture of cabled and wireless connections.
    Inevitably cabled is the better option but not always viable.
    We are constantly looking at ways to extend our mobile network.
    To that end I'm researching this product


    Can anyone offer any first hand experience??

    In hindsight I should have posted my Facebook status as: "I've blown the head gasket on my 1997 XR3i" rather than "I've just buggered a 14 year old escort".
    The police still haven't seen the funny side, my lap top's been confiscated and the wife has gone off to her mum's.

    Setting up a wifi extender is difficult from the start but once the first extender has been setup, the others would be okay..

    The signal range of a Wi-Fi wireless network on mobile can be boosted in several different ways. I found Netgear have good reviews and best to Extend Wi-Fi signals.
