What hardware to use to extend WIFI signal?
In our University, every student is authorized to access the WIFI signal of the school. My problem is, the only way that I could connect to the WIFI is if I'm in the University WIFI hotspots. Therefore, I can not access it in my room which is just about 400meters from a hotspot.
When I'm in my room and try to search for a signal, my laptop could detect it but cannot connect to it. I am guessing that probably the signal is extremely low that's why I can't connect.
I am wondering if its possible to extend the range of my University's WIFI signal so that it could reach my room. I'm looking for a device that could pick-up signals from a distance. I've heard of the device called "cantenna" but its not available here in France. Are there other mainstream products available to do this? If so, how does it work?
Thank you very much!
What you need a is called a "Repeater" .Its a device used to repeat the signal to throw it a further distance.
this should help:
"A recent review of the repeating function of the D-Link DWL-900AP+ access point identifies a range increase of 160%. In the review, the original signal was lost at about 55feet from the router/access point. With the placement of a DWL-900AP+ set to repeater mode at the site of the original signal loss, the signal strength was still around 72% at 140 feet. The repeater provides the extra kick in situations where you need to reach remote users"
