The Route less travelled

I've had a heck of a time getting wireless internet coverage in our house, and I've tried just about everything - moving the router to the middle of the house, installing a signal repeater where the signal goes week, and lastly upgrading to a router with increased coverage distance. All have failed. Then, with the help of a post on Amazon I may have found the solution:

1) Router settings - dive into the router's settings by typing it's IP address into your web browser, and set the router to the following:

Broadcast Power - High
Channel - 11
Wireless protocol - set it to broadcast only the version you need (a,b,g, or N). I found that setting it to a mixed broadcast mode (g and N) was causing all sorts of drop issues.

If that doesn't do the trick, consider a router with external antennas, or with Wireless N (fastest, strongest protocol) as even your old Wireless G devices benefit from the advanced coverage Wireless N provides. These routers can be found for $20 (g) or $40 (n) from newegg.com.
