If you leave the antennas down on your router (instead of bending them up) does it work better sending signal vertically through the floors and ceilings?

These are very effective tips , but the best one that worked for me was to position my router on a high level. I have a Belkin Wireless G+ MIMO router, which are very good. I can pick up signal from at least a half a mile away from my house.

That was my simplest alternative.

I use 2 Netgear Rangemax Wireless Routers. One is in the basement where I’ve always had the cable/phone line enter the house.
Long before wireless became a good alternative, (during some electrical upgrades to the house) I installed a few Cat5 cables to the 3rd floor of the house from the basement location where the modem has always been. I simply hard wired the second wireless router using the Cat5 cables from the first wireless router in the basement. Now I have a wireless signal going up from the basement and another one going down from the third floor. I always have a very good or excellent signal throughout this 4,400 square foot house built in 1913.

If you have a linksys wireless router you could run dd-wrt and overclock the wireless chip which extends the range. dd-wrt allows you to setup a wireless distribution system that allows you to extend your wireless range by using multiple wireless routers.

One thing you can do is what’s called a can-tenna. I cut a hole in an old cake pan and put my wireless USB adaptor into it and almost tripled my signal reception. I can almost get full signal from my 1st floor router in the 3rd floor attic on the opposite side of the house. There are plenty of plans on the internet on how to make these, just be diligent and do it right or you will end up with a mess that doesn’t work. This idea is likely to reduce your need for a repeater and save you some cash for getting a an even better network card.
