Verizon M1424 Router

bstein4 · 11-30-2008, 08:40 PM

I just switched from Comcast to Verizon Fios. The Verizon M1424 Router is located in the basement. I am getting weak signals on the 2 floors above the basement. I used to use a Linksys WRG54GX2 router and a WAP54G access point, set as a repeater to boost the signal. Now I can't seem to get my Verizon router talking to the access point and boosting the signal. Any ideas on how to do this? Or hardware that is compatible with the Verizon router?

I have Fios for TV, Internet and Phone.

Thanks.

Hawking Tech has a number of products that will help you increase your wireless range. The root page is Hawking Hi-Gain™ WiFi Range Extending Products.

Some of the more interesting products are this Hawking [HSB2] Hi-Gain WiFi Signal Booster, which can be used on either end of a wireless connection to boost the signal power.

Another way to increase your signal strength is by the use of hi-gain antennas. You can choose from omni-directional or directional models, here are a some examples.

Hawking [HAI7SIP] Hi-Gain 7dBi Omni-Directional Antenna

Hawking [HAI15SC] Hi-Gain 15dBi Corner Antenna

[HAO14SD] Outdoor Hi-Gain 14dBi Directional Antenna Kit

This is just a sample of available products, many people have hi-gain antennas with similar specifications, but I haven't seen any other suppliers of signal boosters.
