So what about adding an extender in the middle of the current two. Are there going to be speed rawbacks to having one extender piggybacking off another?
Main Topics
Browse All TopicsI am looking to extend the range of the wireless network from one building to another, the range is about 140 yards, I am currently using two Linksys WRE54G wireless extenders but get a very poor connection. I was thinking of upgrading to .11N for the better range. So my question is will the .11G wireless card in my notbook connect to an .11N AP? Or if i put another Linksys extender inbetween the two current ones will my speeds suffer?

a G card can connect to the N network at the G speeds if the N network is set to be backward compatible, same as B connecting to G used to be .... if you set to use the full spectrum for N only at the 5.8 GHz then no you will not be able to connect with the G card ...
Using the N in compatible mode however, you may not get the full range you expect ...
