Improving Netgear signal

[yellowbeard]

Hi everyone.

I need a little guidance on a small problem which is really starting to bug me.

I recently bought a Netgear RangeMax Wireless Router (the cool one with the blue flashing lights at the top). I'm connected on an NTL broadband line and can get a signal.

However, the position of my PC is poor and the signal i weak, but i really dont want to move the PC so ....

... can anyone suggest a way of boosting or improving the signal strength to the corner of the room the PC is in?

Help!!

Have you tried changing the channels on the router ?

yeah, i believe i've tried all the options they give. i'm hoping there is a bit o kit which boosts signals or something?

move the router to reduce the amount of signal blocks such as walls,furniture etc.I get a really poor signal when the PC is under my computer desk but if I move the PC a little the signal increases dramatically.

You can buy a "Range extender" for your wireless network.
I saw one on Ebuyer,

Hope this helps.
