A:  "maybe 70 feet" is really only long cables

B:  Chaka

I bet Clive would not route the cables directly.  He would probably run them through the garage, toaster oven in the kitchen, and around the outside of the house.
That my friend, would take really, really, really long cables.   Grin 

That doesn't sound like the way he would wire the cables since he said he walks around cleaning the mess his wife makes.

Really stupid basic question but have you power cycled the modem and router? (I know, I know, weak ass customer support idiocy but sometimes it's honestly the last thing I think of.)

Also, what I think you need to improve your signal upstairs is a wireless signal booster. In my limited knowledge of such things I think an access point allows wireless devices to communicate with one another on a network but doesn't do anything to boost a signal from a router to a wireless device. (As always it's entirely likely I have no idea what I'm talking about.)

So to sum up, I can't help you.

Then shut up and go away.  You're serving no purpose here.

what the hell does one do with an Access Point appliance?

Did you ever figure this out?


If not, I have a couple more ideas.


1) Have you tried setting your network to a different wireless channel to see if it makes a difference?  I've heard about people having wifi problems because of interference from neighbors' networks.

Here's an article with some tips on this:

2) Do you have a cordless phone nearby?  If so, do you know what frequency your phone uses? (900MHz, 2.4 GHz, etc.)

I think I put a vague enough answer attempt in the Figs thread you started this time last year about this.

Is it fixed yet?
