Slight hijack

But can you pair 2 wireless routers together wirelessly? I just moved and switched to ATT. Most of my house is covered except for one room and outside patio. Was wanting to connect my old Netgear router to my new att router

Hey fellas, took the dive and got the Netgear wifi extender for $30...figured what the hell.

I've got a 1,100 sq ft condo and the router is in the bedroom by the entrance. The area I was having issues with was out on my balcony off the front of the place. The thing is super small and took me maybe 5 minutes to get it set up. I plugged it in in the living room by the sliding glass door of the balcony.

Just did a test on the balcony with the sliders closed:

regular network
27.67 mbps download
3.69 mbps upload

extended network
65.94 mbps download
77.20 mbps upload

Dang. I've seen people complain about them not working long term and/or not staying connected, but that's a hell of a difference.
