Hi!
My question concerns covering an outbuilding with a medium strength wifi signal broadcast from the main house, some 30 metres away. The router is placed as close as possible to the outbuilding and is mounted half way up the wall. It is a new Jensen "N" router with three antennas. I have disabled WPA and B/G/N mode (set it to just G) to improve performance, seeing as there are no N clients.
My question is this: given that there is poor coverage in the outbuilding at the far reaches, and good coverage at the wall nearest the house, should I make a WDS bridge (i.e. how irritating is the speed reduction) or should I try to replace the antennas on the Jensen router with RadioLabs ones? I noticed someone on this forum warned off the RadioLabs without saying why.
Thanks!
