[Gllug] wireless broadband routers .... insufficient range

[Alain Williams]

Hi,

my sister has a broadband wireless router; unfortunately she is not able to receive
any signal from where she wants (inside a large victorian house). I have told her to
lay in UTP -- which doesn't impress her.

Do different types of router generate different 'strength' signals ? Ie might a different
model help - if so how would you identify it ? I suspect that the answer is 'no' since the
wifi card plugged into the laptop would also need to be more powerful.

Any other suggestions ?

TIA
