Running a wire in my case isn't practical so I have to depend on the wireless alone. As for an external antenna, I thought of that but there were too many obstructions between the two points I wanted to use the wireless. Therefore, the idea to use a repeater was born: even a faint signal from the other router could be repeated thus extending the network. If I use the suggestion of setting up both networks in my computer and then roaming around, would transferring from one network to another cause me to lose access to the Internet even for a fraction of a second? For example, if I am downloading a file through FTP, would I be disconnected from one network and reconnected to another if I roam which would end my FTP session. Or is the transfer so smooth that all my Internet connectivity will still be there as I go from one part of the network to another?
