    Need to boost a wireless signal
    Here is what I'm looking for, I can receive the wireless signal on my laptop but its very weak, what can I buy to boost the signal? What's best? Another access point or a repeater? Is it possible to get another wireless router and hook it up? Will it receive the signal and then boost it up to send out?

    PLEASE HELP!!

    Repeater. Some routers can be configured as a repeater.

    Access points typically have all sorts of other options and are pricey.

    Maybe a new router. What kind of router do you have right now?
