    Hi can anyone tell me if its possible to use my old Belkin Mimo Wireless G router as a wireless repeater, in order to boost the signal? my signal is excellent in the same room as my new Netgear n150 router but degrades rapidly if i leave the room.

    Need a proper model number for the Mimo Wireless G. Check your manual/configuration on the Mimo for Wireless Bridge as an option, that's what you want.

    They'll only give you a crappy Zyxel, worse than any POS Belkin
