    Hi everyone,

    First of all i was not sure where to post this, so if its in the wrong place please feel free to advise.

    I currently use an orange livebox for the wireless at home, signal is great everywhere except in my bedroom, where I would really like to have access to the internet, but am currently just out of range.

    Am i right in thinking that the said item increases the range of the current wifi meaning i could connect to the internet in my room?

    thanks

    It will let you just extend the range of your wireless network, yes. This is what they are used for in my home.

    Are you using them with an Airport Extreme Base Station or another brand of router?
