[QUOTE="bennjiboi, post: 840009, member: 32785"] I think that I'm confusing you! I have a Belkin modem and a DLink DIR-635 router. The pink curcles on the diagram are what i was thinking i should install to cover the range of the house. The red box is the current router and the modem is sitting next to it. There is good signal in the lounge room and ok signal in the 2nd bedroom but from there is really really bad. My first thought was to run CAT 5 from the router through the roof and drop it down into my room to my iMac but i would really like to extend the over all range of the network. My only real concern was the router currentlly has 3 antennas attached, its a wireless N but still fairly poor signal. I was concerned about splitting up the antennas in case they actually needed to be all in the same place. I:E the back of the router. I was not sure if this would impact things or if in fact my idea would work? I understand what you are saying though, but if i use hi gain antennas in the places i want to will i achieve total cover over the house? And i guess my second question is will i see signal loss being that i have detatched 2 or the 3 antennas from the back of the router and moved them round the house? Sorry to confuse you so much!
