Hello,
I recently moved to France, and am amazed by the fact that they have these things called Smartboxes which seem to do just about everything, including providing Wifi. I'm currently renting a small flat just outside of paris, of which the owners of the property have generously provided free internet. The problem here is that the Neuf Box doesn't seem to have a Wifi range strong enough to reach my flat, some 35-40 Meters away.
My main question is, how do I increase the range of the wifi without interfering majorly with their current set up? My French is limited and I have issues communicating the problem with them. I would like to limit the amount of fiddling around in their house and with their equipment as possible.
I read somewhere that I can set up a wireless repeater, but wouldn't know which one to purchase for the job, what I would be looking for, Etc. The walls of my flat are fairly thick, so unfortunately I'm worried it may be a major spend!
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Joel
