Electronics WiFi Booster for me TV

jiveturkey · 10-28-2011, 12:08 PM

My wireless router is in my basement because my office is down there. Our TV on the main floor gets a shitty signal because of this and I'm wondering if there's a way to boost the signal or put a more powerful wifi adapter/antenna on the TV?

It's a Sony Bravia and when I bought it I had to buy a wifi dongle that's currently plugged in.

instead of getting a booster you might want to get a repeater. You can move the repeater around until you get the best spot for receive/resend. Need outlet though.

many of the new routers now have a option to be a repeater as well.

here's a link to an example with diagrams and video.
