I make a lot of WiFi calls from my Android phone since they do not count against my minutes (I have an older grandfathered plan). My access point is about 8&#39; from where I sit through an open doorway. The reception is terrible. I have played with the antennas but no improvement. When I call I have to move to the same room as the access point. The hardware is a Linksys WRT54G. The wiring cupboard is right above my head, so I could move it there, but then the rest of the office will not be able to use the Wifi. <br>
<br>1. Do I need a better access point? If so, what brand/model?<br>Note: due to T-Mobile&#39;s poor wifi calling software design.....don&#39;t get me started......the access point cannot block any ports - it has to be wide open except for WPA with a shared key and MAC address filtering. The Linksys has a built in router as well, but I had to disable it to be able to connect to T-Mobile&#39;s network for wifi calls.<br>
<br>2. Is there some sort of repeater that I can use to increase signal strength where I sit? Not too much, I don&#39;t want to start glowing in the dark or cook my lunch on my desk! ;-)<br><br>3. Any other suggestions for making wifi available to everyone?<br>
