I'm starting this thread, since after browsing out here, all the related threads have been closed.
I have Bellsouth DSL with a Westell 327W DSL Modem/Wireless Router. I recently moved my office in my house, and now I'm having range troubles and getting a signal at in many places in the house.
Moving the router (and even putting it up higher) is not an option for me.
So, my questions are as follows:
1) Does anyone know of a wireless range expander that will work with this modem. I know that the Linksys range expander will not work.
2) Can I easily take this modem/router and only have it operate as a modem and attach a new wireless router (with range expander) to my system?
What pitfalls should I be looking for.... now, I'm just an average guy and don't know a lot about subnets, and chaining routers together, so if you give me a suggestion, pretend that you're talking to a five year old.
3) Any other suggestions as to how to boost the range of this signal -- I don't see a way to replace the antennas on this router, so that doesn't seem to be an option.
4) SHould I contact Bell South and see if they'll just send me a modem and get my own router?
Thanks for any help you can give this "dummy"
