Title: Re: wifi range extenders and long range adapter Post by: oldvan on August 26, 2010, 06:19:04 06:19 Yes. Range extenders retransmit the packets to achieve longer range.
Long range adapters transmit with more power. Try directional antennas as well. Look up Cantenna or Yagi.

I have tried same trick by tangling wires around the router to increase range! Works well, but cannot beat the commercial extenders!
