The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Wireless Networking

Asked by julianmatz in Wireless Technologies, Networking Hardware, Wireless Network Access Points

Tags: WiFi, 802.11g, 802.11n, Repeater, Range Extender

Hi! I need to extend my wireless signal from one house to another maybe 300-400 meters apart. At present I can get a very weak signal in the middle and top floors near the windows.

My router is a D-Link DSL-2740B ( ftp://ftp.dlink.eu/datasheets/DSL-2740B.pdf ). It has 802.11n capability but I mainly need to make sure I can receive the 802.11g signal.

The spec sheet states that the router has "3 detachable dipole antennas, each with 2dBi Gain and RP-SMA connector".

I was looking at these "High Gain Antenna for R-SMA Connectors" from Syslink:
http://downloads.linksysbycisco.com/downloads/HGA7S-DS_0,2.pdf

I'm not really sure about RP-SMA and SMA connectors and I was wondering if the "High Gain Antenna _for_ R-SMA Connectors" would fit my router if the router's antennas are "each with 2dBi Gain _and_ RP-SMA connector". My understanding is that RP-SMA connect with SMA but as I said I'm not sure.

Being as these antennas are quite expensive I wanted to ask that and aslo whether or not 3x 7dBi antennas would make a big difference over 3x 2dBi antennas.

I was also thinking about getting the following two products:

Linksys Wireless G Expander ( http://downloads.linksysbycisco.com/downloads/WRE54G_V10_DS_A-WEB,0.pdf )
D-Link Wireless N Access Point with WDS ( ftp://ftp.dlink.eu/datasheets/DAP-1353.pdf )

The internet connection and modem/router are on the bottom floor of house A and there's a building blocking the LOS from that floor to house B so it would be best if I could relay the signal from the middle floor of house A and pick it up from the middle or top floor of house B.

Would appreciate your help.
