Can I use my spare Philips ADSL Wireless Router as a Repeater to extend range?

December 22nd, 2009 | Author: Some Web User

Q. Hi, I currently have an Orange voip router setup for my wireless internet connection. It works ok, but the signal is very weak elsewhere in the house (downstairs for example).

I have a spare Philips ‘ADSL Wireless Base Station’, Model: SNA6500.

Is it possible to set this up to acts as a Wireless Repeater to boost the range of the existing wireless?

How do I connect a printer and share files on a netgear wireless ADSL router?
How can I setup a network that have a ADSL modem router with a Wireless router to work with P2P software?
Which is the best place to keep the wireless ADSL router at home to get BEST coverage ?

Probably not. Most integrated ADSL modem-routers cannot be used as repeaters.
I’m using a couple of Netgear WNR834B wireless routers, one connected to my cable modem and one in repeater mode. This setup works very well.
