My house is “L” shaped with my den on the bottom right of the short leg and my daughter’s computer desk on the top left corner of the short leg. Wireless signals either had to make a sharp right or go outside and then back in. This resulted in just horrible network reliability. A wireless repeater placed at the crux of the “L” seemed the easy and obvious solution. I chose a Linksys WRE54G because it would connect with the WRT54G router that I already owned. The repeater cost around $100, a Buffalo router and repeater combination sold as a matched set would have been $130. I chose not to buy the Buffalo set because I already have too many router/firewalls around, so my time is now worth less than $2.50 an hour given the dozen or so hours it took to get this working. |
