"Hi I'm Jason Mac genius, and today we're going to talk about how to improve the range in your wireless router. Initially when you buy the router if you've got two antennas on your router that's really the best thing for you. Also you want to have the router centrally located in your house, so that it's got even access and because wirelesses have a range, and you want to be able to set that up kind of in a central location to where you're going to be using the computers. You can also watch out for if you have a computer in the basement, plumbing and air ducts, that can interfere with the signal. So I would go ahead and put your routers as close to your computer as you can get it, or in as central of a hub in your house as you can get it. That's pretty much how to, well you can also get cards that will boost the signal. I haven't tried any of these, and I don't know if I would recommend any, but they do make cards that will boost your signal that you add onto your computer if you want. Again, I'm Jason and that's basically how to speed up your internet connection."
