New to Wirless - Advice needed

slinger99

Hi All,
Am thinking of getting a wireless set-up.Any advice on what gear to get.I want to be able to use the wirless throught the house and also in the garage about 60 feet away and through 2/3 walls. Would I need the N signal for this? I also hope to run a printer and a laptop (& a netbook in the garage). Any advice would be gratefully received. I can spend ,say up to €150 approx. I have a BTbroadband connection.

Hi and welcome to the world of wireless

This is not a cop out answer to your request but you will never know how wireless will work in your house - in theory those distances are ok for N but you will never know unless you go as they say, If you could borrow someones wireless router for a test you would know straight away, You have a few options

Try a router and see

I would really recommend running a cable to your garage and putting an access point in there if wireless was a must,

you could do a repeater AP but if your not very familiar with wireless this can be quiet a job.

And I guess if all you wanted is just to get access in your garage buy a decent brand Ethernet over power device

but what ever you choose don't be afraid to ask questions

Thanks Voodoo2,
I guess I will do the wired option. I was wondering if you could reccommend any partlcular brand/model etc or should i go with G or N signals?....Thanks for the info...

Remember 'N' is not necessarily all it is cracked up to be either and is really still evolving.

Is there any chance that you could borrow a wireless router from someone to get a feel on how wireless behaves in your house?
