[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1097269, member: 24098"] Your primary issue is the placement of the router. By having it at an extreme end of your home, you're projecting a good bit of the signal outward and away from your clients. If you can, relocate the router to somewhere central within your home and preferably high up. In my experience larger antennas are fairly ineffective when the router is placed poorly to begin with. The partial signal has to penetrate the structure and walls of your home as well as contend with interference from other devices that emit RF between it and the client. If you can mitigate that first, you stand a good chance of not needing to buy anything else at all. [/QUOTE]
