Answer» Hey guys, i was wondering if you could help me here.
Ive got a very long house, so my wireless doesnt reach by myroom so i brought something to "bounce" the wireless range from my router to my bedroom therefore extending the range. Im sure you guys know what it is but i forget the exact name.
Ive set it up and it has been placed only a few METERS from my bedroom in the hallway. When i go to click on it in the wireless network window it says it has full bars so im definatly within range but when i click on it is says "little or no connectivity".
Do you have any ideas as to why this is doing this? I dont want to have to call up a £4 per second phone line!
thanks guys. limitted or no connectivity from my EXPERIENCE means that something is messed up with your wireless settings, like your security settings don't match up.You may have to run your setup software on the host computer to add a device. You probably will have to know the encryption key and/or the security code such as wep. The EXTENDER may need a passphrase or password.
I ended up just installing a CAT5 cable from my router to the ethernet plug on the back of my pc. You can a PRETTY long cat5 cable with very little signal loss. Good luck.
