Wireless repeater? Bridge mode?

donmeister · 2011-01-17 20:58:41

Hey all, trying to help out a friend by getting him a router. He's out in the shticks and gets broadband via satellite, he already has a wireless router hooked up in his shed (where the transmitter is) but it doesn't reach the other end of his house. What would be the best/easiest option, could I get a massive Cat 5e cable…

What would be the best/easiest option, could I get a massive Cat 5e cable or just use a wireless repeater.

Im looking for a wireless repeater or a router with a bridge mode, anyone have suggestions?

Thanks.

wireless bridge would be the idea then. get any router with DD-WRT will solve the problem, and if you unsure about the DD-WRT, get the Buffalo WHR-HP-G300Nv2 it have the facility and designed in an very easy way, like 3 clicks setup
