First of all, let me start off by saying I know NOTHING about networking. With that said...
Why is my wireless range so crappy in my little 1200sqft home?
I have Metrocast cable and a new NETGEAR modem/router (the modem that I had been renting from Metrocast for the past 6 years was worse), but I swear I have to be sitting in the same room as the router in order to get more than a single bar for signal strength. I don't think it's my router because I can see 4 or 5 other networks, which I'm assuming belong to my neighbors.
I'm not doing any gaming or anything so I'm not looking for blazing fast speed. I just want to be able to log into these forums to find out who pissed off whom on any given day without eating up all of my Verizon data.
Does any of this make sense to those of you or know such things?
