    What to do for best network range in home and backyard area?

    Thanks again stevech!!! Okay, I will make sure I change the SSID of the EnGenius network so I can select between them both. Thanks! Just did a speed test at speedtest.net and the results were 27.51Mbps download and 9.73 upload. This seems fast to me. 1.) Would I actually notice a difference...

    What to do for best network range in home and backyard area?

    Hey guys, I was able to get everything sorted out and just had a couple final questions. I went with the suggestion of getting a PowerLine and an Access Point from EnGenius. When setting up, I set up the EnGenius ENH200EXT with the same SSID and password as my current WiFi network. I...

    What to do for best network range in home and backyard area?

    Thanks for all the great tips guys. I guess I'm looking for a simple plug and play type of device, or devices, that will work for my situation (can't hard wire, not sure I can configure a Powerline, etc...). it sounds like there just really isn't a simple plug and play option. If that's...

    What to do for best network range in home and backyard area?

    Yes, from suggestions in this thread, I will be placing this device on my outdoor patio (partially covered). The rep said this unit would be okay in an outdoor, partially covered patio, but I didn't ask anything about the way it needs to be mounted. If it needs to be mounted on a ceiling and...

    What to do for best network range in home and backyard area?

    I called EnGenius and they recommended the EnGenius EAP300 I would just set it up on repeater mode to repeat the signal. Would this be a decent way to go for someone not looking for a complicated setup and not able to hard wire this device outside?

    What to do for best network range in home and backyard area?

    Ok, I'll look into it a bit more, but not sure I should go that route if it's not plug and play. I don't know much about this stuff and to be honest, I think I'd rather pay a little more to have something easy to setup. That way if it's not working, I can call tech support to help :) My...

    What to do for best network range in home and backyard area?

    Thanks for the link (and info) Stevech. Yes, I have tried placing the wireless router very close to the window leading outside and I'm not getting good range at all. That's why I was hoping to place something on the patio that would repeat the signal without any outside walls in the way...

    What to do for best network range in home and backyard area?

    I won't be able to connect the EnGenius Access Point via Ethernet. This Access Point will be outside the house on the patio. Now, which EnGenius device is the one to get? When I search Amazon, there are a handful of EnGenius devices that all appear slightly different. Could someone provide the...

    What to do for best network range in home and backyard area?

    Sounds good. Just to double check to see if I have this right: I will stick with the wireless router Comcast provided and add this EnGenius AP outside, on my Patio (this will be about 25 feet away of the inside Comcast wireless router. Then I will connect the EnGenius to my current wireless...

    What to do for best network range in home and backyard area?

    Sounds good! THANKS! How difficult is that to setup on it's own SSID and frequency? I looked at the review you linked to and the setup DOS windows in that review made me nervous :) Does EnGenius have good tech support that can walk me through the necessary setup?

    What to do for best network range in home and backyard area?

    Hey guys, Forgive the ignorance you might find in this post as I don't know much about this stuff. I'm looking to extend my wireless network throughout my entire house and cover my backyard area. My home/backyard: Two story house on the larger side. Main living is upstairs and that is where...
