    Hi guys was wondering if u could give me some advice on this.

    I have a netgear wireless router in my house downstairs, which i connect all my pcs through, and i connect my ibook to it wirellessly. The problem is a get perfect signal downstairs but not very good upstairs. Is there something which i can add on to go upstairs that would extend my wireless coverage, but would still let me use the router downstairs when i am downstairs with my laptop?
    sorry if thats unclear.
    Cheers :thumb:

    I think what you need is a wireless access point to act as a wireless repeater. If you got a netgear wireless access point (the WG602) you would need a version 2 or 3 to have the option of a wireless repeater.
    However, i'm not 100% on this so best to wait for someone to confirm.
