our previous ISP, FiOS, gave us a router with not enough range to hit our HTC phones upstairs, 50 feet away.
Not to say that perhaps the HTC isn't up to the task, but it seems to do well everywhere else I go with it.
Our new (old) providers, OOL, don't provide a wireless router with the level of service we have, no "Boost".
So I put our old Belkin back into service, F5D7230. It lacks the stuff as well.
Again, not to say the HTC isn't at fault as the Apple TV in the same room hasn't had a problem with either wireless device.
blah, blah, blah.. Any reason not to buy a refurb Apple Extreme and expect anything better?
Unfortunately, no way to put the modem/router any closer to the middle of the house.
I don't think I'm up to the task of running CAT5 to the upstairs.
Unless there is a way I can split the coax to the upstairs TV to another wireless.
