Rocko or anyone else technical minded-
I live in a duplex apartment with my room being the downstairs one. We have a good broadband connection with NTL upstairs but i can’t get the any signal in my room. I’m shite at all that technical stuff. How would I get a good signal downstairs?
I thinks its because you only have a good connection. Try upgrading to the super duper connection and it will work grand.
I don’t even know where to start on that question to be honest.
what do you call a good connection… if you upgrade router you will get better connection or even to get the best connection possible downstairs if you wire it down to your room or wire it to a new router downstairs to give good coverage throught the house

Dunno if that’s an option really Flano. Is there any thingamajig I can get to carry the signal or boost it or something like that?
Is your connection slow or patchy?
If your wireless router is good but the signal is still shite because of concrete or radio interference or something you could use the power cables to create a network.
You use something like this:

which saves you running cables from upstairs to downstairs. Never used one but they seem like a simple solution.
It’s a 10MB connection or so it says anyway.
So I’d have to get a really long wire connected to the router in the living room leading down to my room? Sounds like a pain.
What do you be doing in your room that you can’t do in the living room that involves the internet
Stoopid question. Porn of course :rolleyes:
Cheers Rocko-I’ll look into that.
Rockos is a good option.
It wont matter how high MB it is if the singal from the router is weak.
It’s like saying I have a great radio station but my catchment area is a radius of a yard.
I was wondering about this too. I had a similar issue with broadband in my new apartment.
In the end all I did to fix it was to move the wireless router out from the wall a little pointed the antenna directly up. It was pointing in a horizonatal manner.
The NTL installed it that way and I couldn’t get a signal in the bedroom.
Sounds like a really simplistic fix but it worked.
Never even thought of moving the router around. Cheers Cld, will do that when I get home.
