[VoIP] OT - Boosting a wireless network's range? 802.11B

[David Josephson]

As Mark pointed out, more access points help.

Another thing you can use (at the expense of further lowering the 
available bandwidth) is a
store-and-forward repeater. The value leader these days is the Meraki 
mesh system, which is
$49 a node. You replace your AP with one of these, and then stick 
another one up where you
want to repeat. I was very skeptical but they actually work, without 
much intervention from
the user at all.

Getting the AP at a location in the house where it has the shortest 
possible average path also helps.
Try to get it up and in the clear as much as you can, thick wood 
(furniture) attenuates the signal
quite a bit.
