Thread: People in stone houses

I recently installed a Netgear wireless router. I then found I was getting poor to zero signal reception via the wireless USB adapter in my PC. I live in an old house with stone walls, and there are several rooms between the router and the computer.
In an effort to improve reception, I bought the Netgear Ranger Extender, but the signal is still not reliable. The wireless network will need to grow when my children get their own computers.

Thick walls are very good at blocking wireless signals, and it's not just wireless networking, Dect phones are affected as well. Installing networking cable is the ideal solution from the point of view of the network but not necessarily for the look of the house, or your wallet.
