I love Apple products but have an interesting situation with coverage on my Airport extreme.
I have a very long house. The extreme is in my office at one end with an iMac. My wife uses a Macbook at the other side of the house. Covergae seems to end 5 feet from where she uses the Macbook. In that room it varies between 200k and 2mb. Move the Mac book those 5 feet into the kitchen and she gets 5MB speed.
I tried an Airport Express as a repeater but it crapped out and even when working it didn't help much. I have tried every trick in locating the extreme but am limited. Even ran a long ethernet cable under my desk as the ethernet acts as an antenna.
Now the question: is there a simple to install router on the market that offers better range than the extreme?
