You may want to consider putting the AE into bridge mode and use it as a repeater on the other side of your house if you aren't getting good coverage from the location it is in now. What happens then is that the Comcast router takes over all WiFi and DHCP and the AE acts as a receiver/transmitter repeater for the signals it receives. Assuming you can move the AE to a location where the signal it receives is consistently strong, that could significantly enlarge your footprint.</p></blockquote><p></p>
