    Can anyone recommed what I should buy. I have a wireless router setup and I get a decent signal around my house.However I would like to let my parents who live next door to use my broadband.At the moment they get 1 bar signal at best and this is only in certain rooms.

    So basically I am looking for a wirelss router with a very good range? Or perhaps a wirelss router and a wireless extender setup in my parents house.
    Can anyone recommend suitable products and if a range entender one that works easilty with the router.:confused:

    Thanks F

    When you said that your parents lived next door..what distance is this exaclty? are you in terrace/semi detached/fully detached/across the road?

    What are the walls made of? concrete will attenuate the wireless signal.
    If this is the case then i would suggest getting a N type modem.

    I live in a granny flat out the back and our wireless is in the front of the house. I have a Netgear WGR wireless router in the house and a Belkin Universal range extender at my window where it picks up the signal.

    http://www.dabs.ie/products/belkin-wireless-g-universal-range-extender-access-point-4287.html?q=Belkin%20universal%20range

    Don't get as good download speeds on the extender, but perfect for browsing the web.
