I have an old Victorian house with an apartment in the back above the barn/garage. I am trying to get wireless internet connections to all sections of the house but my current router (3 years old) is not cutting it. There are 5 people in the house all using laptops on wireless. I need a wireless router that will transmit throughout the house and carry enough power to allow for all 5 laptops to utlize the internet service adequately. Any suggestions?

I dont think its a wall problem its just an area off operation for your router. This is an easy fix. You can buy a repeater netgear make ones that are very easy to set up cost is 40 to 80 bucks. will extend the range of your router to reach the hole house. The one I use is netgear n300 that I bought at walmart for about 60 bucks this will solve your prob

Hello.

Yes. As you mentioned, you have a Victorian house, with very thick walls. I'd suggest drawing a diagram showing the rooms and floors that need access.

First, if possible, I would place your router in a centralized location, if all 5 people need similar strength access.

Then what you need are multiple repeaters to go with your router. Place them strategically, so that the wireless access signal can bounce off of them and go around walls, instead of through walls and floors.

Hope this helps.
