1. Might be the easiest if you get a same brand router as your current. Just remember to check that they both support bridge mode.
2. From routers' preferences.
3. To extend the coverage of your wireless network. Put it closer to your room and you will get a better signal.
I'm not an expert when it comes to networking so you may want to wait for other replies. Of course the best option would be to move the current router closer to your room.
i think it will be the same.
you mean i have to log on my router ?
i know it is the best option to put the router closer to my room but i can't.
what is the router make and model?
you have 3 options here.
1. run a long ethernet cable (max 125ft iirc)
2. move the router closer
3. buy another router to range extend
the first 2 probably arent feasible - so let me know the model and ill see what options you have with regards to that

i have to buy the same router to make a large network ?
and where should i put the new one ?
well, you could do either of those. what would you prefer? move the current one - or buy another one?
your call.
if i put the new one in my room do i need another dsl cable ?(don't know what is exactly called)
and how to log in my router ?
if you type 192.168.1.254 into your internet browser it should take it to the default page, username is "admin" and password is also "admin".
you WILL need a telephone line in your room if you are going to move it there.
do you mean telephone wire ? or a new telephone line ?
i have a telephone wire which connects to a home telephone (what this called ?)
like : if someone in my house wants to call me he just call 105
telephone wire, it will need an existing telephone cable to plug into the modem/router.
yes, the telephone wire that connects to the home telephone. do you have one of them long enough?
yes i have one on my room near a black for power.
and what's that aerial extander ? what do you mean by 'vary' ?
that would work ok then.
an aerial extender is an upgrade to the modem, you get a new aerial (basically) and it can often handle more power output then the "weaker" models. this will often boost range.
vary: your results may vary depending on your environment and setup.
