Time Capsule Range Boost

[SteinMaster]

Due to the way my wiring is set-up, I have to place my Time Capsule on the basement floor (broadband cable modem). I use my computers on the first and second levels and am getting about a 60% signal strength. Anyone have any ideas how I can increase the signal strength without having to move the TC? Thanks!

Take a look at these guys. While I've read good reviews, I've also never tried their kit myself.

Post back if you do.

H-Squared

I purchased the AirMount TC from H-Squared and mounted my time capsule on the ceiling of my basement utility room. The TimeCapsule is now directly below the floor of the central hallway on the ground floor. WiFi coverage in the basement and on the first floor is excellent, and still very good on the 2nd floor.

From the H-Squared website: "This innovative product allows you to mount your Airport Extreme base station or Time Capsule on the wall, the ceiling or virtually any vertical or horizontal surface- providing maximum clearance for superior range and speed as well as freeing up desk or shelf space."

Do you have a link to one of their reviews? I'm trying to find some before / after comparisons on the net, and I can't seem to find any.
