I am wondering if there is sush a thing as a wi-fi signal booster than can be plugged into an I-pad or lap top to boost a week wifi signal ....I can take the wifes I-pad to the office and it works fine but when I get down the hall a ease it drops out....all they offer on tv is CNN and she wants to look and listen to fox on her I pad.....I am trying to apply the LAW...Happy wife.....happy life :brows:!!....any of ya gurus of the pooter relm have any ideas?????
 
Look for something like a Wi-Fire.
Here's the item on Amazon but I believe I found it much cheaper. It says USB so you may have to get an adapter to go from that to the iPad input.

Also, your router for wireless normally supports a couple types. E.g. Mine does N & G. N is supposed to be faster but the G gets much better range. If it does have G, you can also tinker with the frequencies. As I recall, the G hovers in the 2.4Ghz range. Problematic if you have a bunch of cordless phones on the same freq. I believe my router allows you to go up or down on the frequency.
 
No
CG...that would be a popper problem would it not????:whistling: Bczoom ....I will look that up...The wife is in a nurssing home recouping and it is their wi fi system that is week....will look up the item and see if it might work.....thanks
 
Have you asked them to consider a repeater wi-fi router? I'm no wi-fi guru but thought you could have one pass the signal to the other. Instead of everyone having to buy something, they could just put another router or 2 in place.
 
This may be an easy solution.
