[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1403630, member: 38928"] Garbage in garbage out The Express isn't an amplifier the most it can do is re-broadcast the signal it's getting The idea is that it just extends the range of your router. eg. Over 10m the routers signal drops to nothing At 5m it's at 50% - put the express at the 5m point and it will re-broadcast that 50% strength signal, potentially meaning you'll get 50% signal strength at 10m from the router Obviously though, as you've witnessed it's very much a trial and error situation with wifi depending on many environmental factors.
