qtel wifi...i desperately need a solution.

The situtation is that i currently have a mozaic service and with this i received a wifi router and a decoder. The problem is that i am living in a villa and the signal strength on the wifi router is so low that i cant get any signal when i am upstairs in my room, even if i am sitting one room away from the router the signal strength will be 2 or 3 bars out of 5. I bought a linksys router with a larger range hoping it would work, i was able to get the internet to work, i had an excellent signal strength through out the house (upstairs and downstairs) but the mozaic service wont work with my own router.

I desperately need a solution for this problem, i need to be able to get internet access throughout the house upstairs and downstairs (ethernet cable is not an option for me, i need wifi access upstairs for my laptop upstairs and i need wifi downstairs for my devices such as my mobile phone). Is there any possible way i can get wifi signal throughout the house and still be able to use the mozaic service.

Hi,

What you need is a Wireless Range Expander. I have used and installed the linksys Wireless-G Range Expander (WRE54G) before and i know it works perfectly fine. Its cable free and meets your requirements. You can check out its details:

I hope that answers your question.

There are several solutions to have internet around the whole house. with your qtel router, you can install a new wireless router at the second floor but of course you have to connect both router using wired cable. Another option is installing a device that connects all your computer around the house using the electricity outlets. check at jarir bookstore. they have it.

I faced the same problem with my Mozaic Connection (Tilgin Modem). Only solution is that to approach the Q-tel technician who installed this connection.(pay some extra. i did the same.) I approached many computer shops / technicians at that time and they said the setup of this modem can only accessed by Qtel.

I Have The Same Problem As You All Have. I Guess You Would Be Having A Thomson Wifi Router. It Hangs And Have To Restart It, Which Is Annoying And Get's Me Irritated....
