Im done with Linksys Routers.
They fricken suck. How is it that my Belkin router that is on the other side of my house is able to throw out a stronger signal vs my linksys router.

The only obstruction blocking the direct path of the linksys router is the corner of a wall.

Now the Belkin router I have is in my bedroom, on the other side of my home underneath my desk behind my bedroom door with a few bends and turns to where i am now.

looks like Belkin router signals can go through walls?

Anyone else have a similar problem?
Is there a way I could boost the wireless signal on my linksys router?
Its a WRT54g

 

mines fine maybe do a factory reset? and a hard reset?

 

im actually updating the firmware.
Looks like I had v2.0 and they have v4.20.6
lets see if this works. If not, im going to buy me another belkin access point.

my linksys has been working perfectly fine

 

i have a belkin 54g router and it has never given me any trouble.

 

FWIW, my WRT54G is on the opposite site of my house and i can use it in my driveway, going through at least 3 internal walls and a brick wall

 

yes, wireless access points use radio waves for communication. Yes, radio waves can go through walls. Metal it cannot. So if your belken has no metal things near it getting in the path of the waves, it could appear to have better distance than the other.

Sure the linksys could just not be doing well....99% of the time it's because of interference.

edit: if you want to get rid of it, let met know

 

take the linksys out of the metal box it's in :chuckles:

 

i dont really have a problem with linksys when it is used to connect my dsl to my 2 desktop dells but it doesnt like my apple laptop.. i use the laptop for photography only.. with the laptop linksys cuts off.. the 2 dells no problem.. my linksys is in the bedroom and the phone lines are directly coming off my bedroom outside wall..so im at the beginning of the signal for my apt building..

 

My linksys died after a year
random ports wouldn't work
been netgearing since and happy
