March 9, 200917 yr Does anyone know of any 802.11n extenders/repeaters? Right now my access point is in the HT/Game room which is in the basement and adjacent to the garage. My bedroom is above the garage and coverage is pretty spotty. The problem is the wall between the basement and the garage it's at least a foot thick solid concrete. Apparently the wireless doesn't like going through that. So I'd like to get some sort of 802.11n extender/repeater/bridge that I could put on the first floor which would give a huge boost to the signal I'd get in my bedroom.
March 9, 200917 yr So far, I've only seen B & G, but I'm sure you can google as well as I can. I'm sure they exist, they're probably just not cheap yet.
March 9, 200917 yr Author So far everything I've read says that the extend functionality of the express only works with other airports. Still trying to find out if that's the case for sure though.
March 9, 200917 yr It works fine for that Todd, I have one that my sister uses for airtunes. It is set to extend the wireless network in our house, which is based around a Linksys WRT54g-tm running DD-WRT.
March 9, 200917 yr Except the DDWRT uses WDS, right? Never got it working with WDS, just have it set up as a straight extender. I can look at my settings again when I get home though, if needed.
March 9, 200917 yr I too am in the market for an extender, just running B/G, is there anything cheaper than the APX? I'd had to pay for the extender than I did for the router.
March 10, 200917 yr here you go nate: Linksys by Cisco Wireless-G Range Expander WRE54G I too am in the market for an extender, just running B/G, is there anything cheaper than the APX? I'd had to pay for the extender than I did for the router. I have one of these lying around gathering dust as I went n a while back and the increased range negated my need for it. I can send it on to you if you want to give it a try. Let me know.
