Posted on by

Hi I have a cisco wireless network hub located in my basement, as thats where the router is attached. In my office upstairs I get little to no reception. How can I extend its range without purchasing a wifi card? Also, the cisco lacks an athena and is unable to support one…Thanks!!

    move the router/wireless hub to the middle level, so ground level?

    that should have good range both to the basement and the office upstairs.

    Wireless signal has different polarization, you should try the following:
    - move and or rotate your Access Point (change angle of your AP, change angle of your anthena)
    - having AP in the basement is one of the worst location because your signal cannot realle get out, bounce over buildings, walls etc, if possible put your AP close to window location
    - move your computer that is upstairs, or at least wifi card, if you have USB wifi, attach USB cable extension and try to move around your computer, sometime moving couple inches makes a difference
    - if you have linksys AP you could upgrade to DD-wrt and increase signal level
    - last resort woulb be to just put a cable and move your AP one level higher (to upstairs or 1st floor)
    - purchase range expander
