Hi guys, my wireless router (Buffalo WMR-G54) is downstairs and i have a new pc upstairs which almost all the time has a low/very low signal strength. I tried using the usb network dongle that i use downstairs which works fine but the problem was just the same. Should i get a new router with a more powerful range? Or are there signal boosters/amplifiers that are used to sort these kinds of problems? Thanks a Lot

Hi,

You can xtend the range of the wireless signal by using a wireless range extender,Or you can use access points in repeater mode to extend the range.
