Wireless routers Ideally, want one upstairs that'll reach downstairs, through concrete. Will this be a problem? | |

From what I understand, the wireless router needs to be actually CLOSER to your unit than a wired one so my recommendation is to just stick with wired....
(btw: Ace, I'm just kidding... you know I love you.... you should be fine with a wireless router through concrete.... no worries....) | |

Don't some WiFi routers have problems going through certain wall compositions? | |

All I know is that I can get wireless signals from all over my apartment complex, but it might be different material than you're talking about. Get one from the store and if it works, cool. If not, just return it! | |

From the New York Times: Speeds drop off significantly as you get farther from a wireless router, for example, and concrete floors, steel reinforced walls and — worst of all — other networks seriously impede the reach of most Wi-Fi networks. | |

My neighbor and I share his W-LAN connection and I´m quite happy with it cause it´s cheaper when we share. It´s not really a 100% stable though, sometimes the connection gets interrupted and I have to deactivate and reactivate in the settings.
He lives one story above me but not directly above me so I guess the W-Lan connection is quite strong. " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |

They also sell wi-fi boosters that you can plug into your wall outlets to extend your signal. | |

Should be no problem. There's only 2 things that really blank out wireless signal and that's lead piping or chicken mesh in walls.

Like Tom said, if you do find you need a little stronger signal, buy a booster. But the regular signal is surprisingly strong. | |

I've got one in the living room of my apt and the signal reaches to my second bedroom. | |

i've got one in my basement that reaches to my second floor. never had a problem. i'm thinking the signal is going through the vents or something. | |

ok guys if you are using a wireless make sure all the security settings are set up, If not any body can use it and down load loads of stuff and uplaod loads of virus's and when it checked and find thats its your ISP number they will point finger at YOU!!! and they can see what sites you go to and get log ins and passwords | |

When thinking Wifi, you must realize that the signal is a from of light that you can't see. In that it will react much in the way light does. Light bounces, and the signal from the wireless router will also, but more so too, and light can past through some substances. Concrete is a consernt, but with proper placement and openness a wifi signal can pass a few floors. I would try to place the down stairs system as much in an open way as you can with the upstairs system. Ofcourse if you have two windows up and down stairs, then the signal could easily enough pass out one level and up/down to the other level. News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so. You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop. | |
