I don´t know nothing about routers, I need to buy One to send my internet signal from the fist floor to the?

Question

nine floor of my building, which I slould buy? Thanksssss

Answer 1

you need to send a signal from floor 1 to floor 9? You need to run a network cable first, If you are going wireless, I doubt the signal it will make it that far. You may try a network extender antenna, but that is a long way.



The router will allow the 9th floor user to connect to the main internet feed of the building, but you still need a physical cable, or strong wireless signal to do that.

The router also has to be configured, and they usually have a wizard that helps you set it up when you buy it.

Answer 2

A router just connects your computer to a network or a connection to a server/isp. It can be wired or wireless. Most wireless routers do not have enough signal strength to go a hundred feet or more, especially if the building is a metal-frame one, although you could buy a repeater or amplifier. You run the risk that someone will piggyback on your signal to access your server/isp, especially if the building has a lot of people with wireless routers. The signal, like any radio signal, radiates out in all directions, so people outside the building can use it, too, (You become a wireless cafe or "hotspot".) Make sure the wireless router you buy has reliable and effective means to keep others off, i. e., good security systems.



Running a wire through the building poses its own problems.

Answer 3

Don't buy one just sniff another router in your building find out if there is signal in the area. Then split cost with other person.

Answer 4

"your internet signal"?

if its your connection just have it installed in the 9th floor.

is the whole building yours?

if so id just drop a wire from the 1st to the 9th.

routers would be to sensitive to that long of a span thru walls.

are you wanting it on both floors?

does it need to be wireless on the 9th floor?

Answer 5

Yeah I agree that is a very far distance and many walls to go through.



You may be able to make it work with a pre-N router something like this--- >WRT300N

and replace the antennas with higher gain ones.



But it probably won't work, or if it does it will be very very slow.



Probably your best bet would be a powerline adapter like this one---> http://www.maximumpc.com/article/Netgear-HDX-B101
