configure wireless access point
I want to add a linksys wireless access point to my wired home network. I have a netgear 8 port switch.
Want to use the access point to let me connect an additional computer in the garage which is probably 100 feet from the house. Will this be a problem? I am not sure if I can connect to another building - the garage. There are several trees in the yard between the house and garage. Any problems with the trees? Thanks in advance for your advice. |

How much house is between the router and garage? Trees shouldn't be a factor unless one place is elevated. I think you'll be OK as long as the router won't be on the opposite side of the house as the garage.

configure wireless access point
The access point will be located in the house next to the wall that is closest to the garage, so the signal does not have to travel throughout the house. I can put it right next to the window if that helps. (I don't
know if windows affect wi-fi signals) |

my wireless router sends a strong signal throughout my house, and all the walls are concrete, I dont think glass should be a problem. You would want to encrypt that feed tho, so nobody else can get onto it.

Hey
I think that there shouldn't be a problem in your case. If there is, you can buy an external antenna that will improve the signal, maybe make a small hole in the wall and locate it out side the house. This should help the situation. ________________ Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else... If you can't play online casino right now - you're at work ! |
