Wireless bridge/gateway? - Tilted Forum Project - TFP - Sexuality, Philosophy and Political Discussion

Hey all, I just moved my computer a lot farther away from my router and am getting crappy wireless reception. I have 2 wireless routers from the same company. I think I can set one up to relay the signal. Anyone know how to do it or have any advice before I start tinkering with it?

it depends on the device you have, what make and model is it?

just get a db gain antenna.

I have a +15 db gain from Hawking, and it works great through my concrete walls.
