Re: Boosting Wifi Signal

Sometimes there are conflicts with the security type you use (wep, wpa, wpa2) on the same wifi network if you are using the mixed b, g, n, protocols. If you still have old stuff on your N system, that is going to be an issue. Some devices can only use one of the types and others can use them all. Then you have to make a choice of using slow B G and N with lax security or N only with great security.

I went N only with mine.

I would check the security type that each device you plan on connecting uses and with whichever router you end up with. You are going to want an N router anyway. Go ahead and get it. They are cheap.


You can also get a wifi repeater. I would run a cable. It's easy and better.
