A terminology question about Wirless
If I want to bost a signal inbetween point a and point b because the signal from point a is not strong enough to reach point b, is this called a bridge, or something comlpetly different.

Re: A terminology question about Wirless
A quick look on the web suggests that a wireless bridge is used to hook up an ethernet enabled device to a wireless network, so I would think the answer is no.
Edit: here is a link for a range expander (or repeater) £60 inc vat. |

So this says that, it is only compatible with certain linksys products, what I need to do is extend the range of a BT Voyager wirless ADSL router... mmm confusing..

I suppose you could give BT a ring to ask them what you should get. You'd think they should know if the sell the router.

Edit :: wasnt very clear, it will only expand a linksys wireless access point or router, but any wireless can connect to it to use the network :) |
Re: A terminology question about Wirless
Actually, one trick that does apparently work is to place the antenna of the router in an empty Pringles tube (I kid you not).. http://www.turnpoint.net/wireless/an...ypringles.html
That's assuming you want to direct the network. |

YOu can do the same with the Apple Airport and the Apple Airport express devices. I think they took this route to build big wireless clouds in schools etc. |
Re: A terminology question about Wirless
Ive got a D-Link Wirless Acess Point here, I hae just changed it to be a repeater for a belkin wirless ADSL Router. and its working fine, wonder i fusing one of these would work it just works by MAC address, so im guessing so.
