Use more than one router/AP - that's what I do.  Put em on different
channels, same SSID.  I suppose that assumes you have a least a little TP
pulled, though.

I am looking for suggestions for a wireless router that could cover a<br>
huge house (think 4500-5000sq ft.). I have only bought dinky access<br>
points at Bestbuy or Fry&#39;s so I&#39;m not sure where to begin. The prob=
lem<br>
is that when we walk around the house, the signal says full, but the<br>
response and signal is horrible. I also noticed when running bandwidth<br>
tests, upload is fine (4 meg on <a href=3D"http://speedtest.net" target=3D"=
_blank">speedtest.net</a>) , but downloading is<br>
super slow (0.02meg). =A0Just looking to tap the brain trust is all.<br>
Thanks!<br>
