?Extend wlan signal without access to router?

[redAPPLE]

in our building, the wifi signal in my part of the building is weak.

is there a way to strengthen the signal, even though i do not have access to the router?

thanks

sitting in the hallway is not an option ;-)

You could try an external wifi adapter with a large antenna.

Well, in that case, the only way to improve your connection is to move closer to the access point. What’s the deal with the wifi? What kind of building?

the access points are not optimally placed (for me). need to get close to the apartment door to get a good reception. if there is only a way to extend the signal from the apartment door to my table about 5 ft...

a wlan extender will do the trick. you have to position it close as possible to the e.g. door in your department and just book it into the building wlan. This will require configure the WLan extender (network selection, password, etc.) - usually by connecting to it by ethernet cable once.
