[QUOTE="bennjiboi, post: 839664, member: 32785"] Hey, I have a DIR-635 and have moved into an old 1920's apartment with solid cement walls. The router is wireless N but that doesnt seem to help at all. Seems I loose reception all over the house and down the far end of the house where my room is my iMac only gets 10% - 12% reception. the house is about 22-24m in length. Would it be better to run cat5 through the roof and connect my imac directly? I was thinking I would buy 2 wireless Hi Gain antennas and swap them for the 3 (leaving one of the standard ones on for recection at the front of the house) that is already on the back of the router, I was thinking of buying some cable and running maybe 2 through the roof and droping them down from the roof into my room and one in the hallway. Do you think this will be ok? Will i loose reception? Are they worth the hassel? I have drawn a quick picture of what I was thinking of doing. There is a lot of space in the roof so that is no problem, I think my main concern was quality etc.. and if i was able to detatch the current antennas and replace them with cableing and new antennas around the house.. I dont know if routers were designed to do this or not.. Any advise would be great!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
