how can i boost the signal from my wireless router i keep losing my internet connection?

Answer 1

For optimum coverage, place therouter as high in the house as you can. Preferably upstairs. I read that this works better and it did for me. I got a really low coverage when it was next to my phone point downstairs but as soon as i moved it to the upstairs study it went immediately to 100% coverage.

Hope the same works for you mate

:)

Answer 2

My first question for you is what type of router do you have? It sometimes depends on the brand to determine reliability. I have had an SBC router that needed to be reset all the time just to work, and I am currently on a Linksys router that has a really flaky connection that just goes in and out sometimes even when my connectivity says Excellent. Sometimes it even drops off and we have to go unplug it for a minute and plug it back in. So it could be a brand issue.

Otherwise, some router manufacturers sell Amplifiers for the router itself, I believe Linksys does. This will only solve the problem if it is, in fact, a poor signal strength, not a flaky router.

Check as many reviews on-line as you can prior to making a purchase. Buy one which has few customer complaints on it.

Answer 3

Depends on the router and the distance you are trying to cover, number of walls, other equipment that could cause interference but one of the cheapest ways is to fit an antenna with a higher dba rating, more expensive is a range extender, DON'T buy a Belkin one.

Answer 4

Buy a wireless access point. Access points boost your signal. They even have one that you plug into an electrical socket and thats it your done, pretty nice!!
Just check your routers manufacturers website and see what they have for access points and go from there, its easy don't worry.
