[tlug] Recommendation for router with range

[Jean-Christian Imbeault <jc.imbeault@example.com>]

I have a cable Internet connection and use my computer as a wi-fi base station to provide a home network. This has worked well for me but I've just moved into a new place and the signal doesn't cover the whole house.

The house is two stories with a half-basement, the PC (acting as the base station) is on the second floor and the wi-fi signal doesn't quite make it into the basement. Unfortunately the Internet connection is on the second floor and can't be moved.

I'm hoping that by using a wi-fi router as the base station I will get a stronger signal than my PC provides and the signal will reach into our basement.

Can anyone recommend a wi-fi router with a strong signal/range?
