Hi. I have cable internet connected to a wireless router at home. I replaced the router antenna and bought another one however it does not make so much difference and I still cannot connect from all the rooms. I also tried to buy a 9m wire and put the antenna in a more central place but without success. Can you suggest anything please? Should I phone the cable company and have them move the modem to a more central place? Is there an alternative?

If the range is not good enough, you have 3 options:
1. First, I would contact your ISP and tell them about your problem. They should try to resolve it by sending you a different router.
If they do not, you have 2 options:
1. Buy your own router, however make sure it is rangemax. These have a greater range than standard routers do, so hopefully will solve your problem.
2. Buy a range extender, also sometimes known as a n access point or expander. This is another router that you can put in a more centralised location in your house, and it will act as a middle man for your connection, doing, as the name suggests, extending the range. Think of it as a bridge, with your devices that aren't getting signal at one end, and your router at the other

call you isp to see if one of this will work with your router.
