Hi

I am having abit of a drama with this new spark wireless broadband. The place where I had allocated for my modem/router to go. Does not pickup great signal. very little I may add.

Is there a WiFi extender / router I could use with the wireless broadband modem from spark to pick up the signal and distribute it throughout the house

Any help would be much appreciated

Cheers

Make it clear whether you are talking about improving reception on 3G/4G WAN connection wireless or the 802.11x on the LAN side produced by access point in modem/router??

Hi

I think what I need is something to be able to extend the existing wifi and also be able to act as a port to connect wired to my router which is networked to various areas of the house in the ceiling.

is there something that can do that?

Do you have a patch panel? Is there a network port near the Spark 4G modem?
