My network is set up with a Linksys WRVS4400N wireless N gigabit router, and a Linksys gigabit 8 port switch(a) in one room. I have a PC, a Mac, a HP network printer, and the 8 port switch (a), wired to the router. There are three NAS storage drives, a Linksys 8 port gigabit switch (b), and a Linksys 5 port gigabit switch wired the 8 port gigabit switch (a). The 8 port and 5 port switches are in different rooms. The 8 port switch (b) has a DirecTV receiver, Replay TV recorder, a Sony PlayStation, and a Mac mini wired into it. The 5 port switch has a DIRECTV, a Wii game console, and a Mac mini wired into it. Everything works; all computers and game consoles have access to the net. The computers all have access to each other, the N.A.S. storage, and the printer.
My only problem is the wireless range is very poor. Is there any way to improve the router’s range? I still have the Linksys WRT54 wireless router. Can that be wired to one of the switches and configured so that I can improve the wireless coverage? If so how? If not what other options do I have?
Thank you
John
