searching for answers here before I start cruising the nerd sites!!
I have a two story house basically 1000 sq ft box on top of another 1000 sq ft box, 4 main rooms up and 4 main rooms down. Stick construction.
My modem/router (2wire - "G") is in one corner of the house upstairs hooked directly to the XBOX, because I don't have a wireless adapter for it.
When I have several items online (3-4) I loose signal down stairs.
If I were to use a repeater at the opposite corner of the upstairs, would this help. (I have one on the way - an airlink)
Other options are placing the modem/router somewhere else and buying a wireless adapter for the xbox or using powerline adapters to the xbox.
Anyone have placement ideas or hardware ideas (cheaper the better).
