Qtel fiber ?
hello everyone,
well everyone's know about Qtel fiber optic new internet and tv service, for my friend they contacted them and then came to install it , it took almost 3 hours to setup the black router because workers who came doesn't know what to do !! first their house is 2 floors, the most needed area for net is the second floor , they install the black router on the first floor !!! and behind furniture !
and when she called them they said sorry we cant change where we install it , we can only activate it .
the problem is that the first floor there's not much needing the internet, since in the second floor she and her sibling who are studying and depending on the net for it.
she tried with them and there's no luck because everyone answer her is a different person and says different talking than others.
note that their wireless is upstairs so what to do? the activating would ruin it all and qtel cant change it.
its hard for them to do their stuff downstairs since the projects and stuff and children who may ruin the router too, you know breaking it while play or turn it off and on alot. really bad things can happen by children.
any help would be appreciated
thanks.
ok... here's what you have to do:
1. calculate distance between the router and the place where you need the other one...
2. Buy a UTP cable of that size + 2-5 meters for increased mobility
3. Buy another router, preferably one that has N standard (very good range) OR a range extender (better option - same technique - this way you don't have to use 2 routers and you can go about your business in the house without having to switch networks)
4. Look for brands like D-Link, TPlink, Asus, Belking, Edimax since they are easily configurable.
5. Look only for extenders which require a UTP cable connection to the router. Otherwise you will have delay/lag/ping issues.
Good luck and let me know if you need any help.
Just get a extended range wireless router / access point
