Question about 2wire (1000-400108-001) Router

I ahve an AT&T 2Wire wireless modem/router (2700) and am trying to talk to an XBox on the other side of my house. SIgnal is too weak. I called AT&T and they supposedly went on my DSL line and boosted the settings on the 2Wire. How do I confirm they did it and how can I adjust it up since it didn't make much difference? Even so, is there a better way to boost the signal across my house?

Thanks. Didn't solve my weak signal problem but it did allow me to change the settings.

Open the Command Prompt from the Accessories folder from all programs. Type "ipconfig" and hit enter. Note the Default Gateway ip setting - xxx.xxx.x.xxx. Enter this value in the URL address field of your browser and hit enter. This will open your modems settings page - read and select the page you need to change your values - such as the wireless power adjustment. There are some sections that will require a password to change - you or your ISP should know the password.

How do I boost the signal from an at&t 2wire dsl modem so that the signal will work better in some parts of the house.

for wireless signal 1st thing to consider is the EMI's (eletro-magnetic interference) anything that is near that modem that produces static electricity, radio frequency and magnetic energy (eg. cordless phone, speaker, anything electronic...) isolate the modem at-least 6 feet away from this said EMI's.
2nd you may check on the the wirelss settings on your modem's GUI(interface) see the link:http://support.2wire.com/index.php?page=view&article=60
wireless channel and power settings and the only once you should change... channel such as 1,6,7 are sometimes used by other device (wireless phone, neighbor's router) power settings: as you place it on a higher number it gives longer distance but gets thinner space(area)

consider the red signals as you place the power higher the signal gets longer but thiner.
lastly wireless doesnt penetrate walls/ glasses it only bounce back and forth to it... so less wall or interference the better chance of going directly to the access point...
if you really havea big house try consider buying wireless booster/repeater...

Wireless range/signal seems very weak

ok the problem is that ur using a wireless b modem
the wireless b is the shortest of the classes of wireless routers
you should go with a G or N series
this should solve ur isse
the B series is for one room operations then the signal has to go through ur home that is more resistance on the signal
you could also buy a 2wire modem /router at best buy
that covers ur whole property with ur wireless range
but u will pay the same in one router as this 2wire single unit

2wire gateway signal range problems

1. Put the router in the highest location possible in the house.
2. Make sure the gateway is installed in the center of the house rather than in a corner of house, so it will cover area on all sides.
3. Make Sure you dont have any devices that may interfere with the signal eg. cordless phone , close to the gateway.
4. Use channel 3 or 7.

2 wire 2700 hg-b

The 2Wire 2700 is a residential gateway, a modem and router in-one. There is an RJ-11 jack in the back of the gateway and this is where your dsl phone cord plugs in. There are four RJ-45 jacks in the back for connecting devices using ethernet cable. As a router is can operate both wirelessly and wired. For wireless operation you'll need the WEP key which is located on the tag on the bottom of the gateway. It's the number enclosed in brackets, between the two bar codes.
