I have a Linksys N router and a Hawking N extender. It is only marginally better in my house. I set up an extender in my sister's home and the extender was the same brand as the router and it works beautifully. I am thinking of buying a newer, more powerful, router and see if that solves my problem. I have a long house with some interior stone walls and my router is in one end of it. I will be interested in what the rest of you think. Blessings, JRH

I use an Amped Wireless SR-1000. We have a big, multilevel house, and this really did the trick. No dead spots anywhere, even out on the patios, back decks, garden. Very easy set-up, no hassle to install.

I suggest you check out a powerline device, IF: 1) your base internet connection is a wired cable connection, and 2) if the intended network is within your house, and 3) if your wiring is in decent shape, and 4) if the distance from each device to the power box totals less than 300 feet, then I strongly recommend eliminating wireless and using a powerline device. I have being running same for about 2 weeks now for 2 PCs and an internet phone with all functioning great and PC speeds at 187 to 255 Mbs (usually above 225). I have streamed many TV shows and movies (~100G worth) with no issues. My network is a USB printer to PC 1, PC 1 to a PLA4201 to powerline; PC 2 to a PLA4201 to powerline; a cable moden to linksys router and a linksys internet phone device to router; router to PLA 4205 to powerline. newegg.com Luck LTBH
