Vanity: Help Needed with Home Wireless Network
PackerBoy | 5/1/04 | PackerBoy

I apologize for this vanity (and waste of bandwidth), but I need help and have exhausted my other sources.

I have RoadRunner cable at home and have a PC hooked up to it. I also wanted to be able to have my new laptop (which has a built-in wireless modem) access the Internet from anywhere inside the house.

SO I bought a wireless router. But th elaptop cold only pick up the signal if it was located in the room adjacent to the one in which the cable modem and wireless router are located. I have exchanged the router for other models and manufacturers, but there is no improvement.

Is there any way I can "boost" the signal throughout my house, or is there some other solution to my problem?

Thanks for any help.
