or range expander..
I don't know the building construction in NYC, I guess its using alot of concrete and or steel...
Take a look at linksys website... they have a range expander, and portable access point that also can be use as repeater...
Google it .. many brand are available .. such as apple airport express, netgear, belkin, d-link, etc.
You may need/use more than one... (one in each room...)
I am setting up a wireless system for my 3 computers. I live in NY in a high rise and have some friends that have had a lot or trouble doing the same. If the computer is in another room there are lots of drops.
Is there a good router and card that will give a strong signal and be easy enough to setup that can give me a strong, consistant connection?
My systems are all fairly new dells with WinXP os.
Thanks
