Wireless Poker

Here is how I ended up eliminating the Wifi dead spots in my house, I
can now play poker in all of my bathrooms and even in the garage
hiding from my wife and kids.

First I tried placing a plate covered in tin foil behind the router to
focus the signal. Read it in Wired magazine. Didn't work but it did
decrease the signal behind the plate.

Second I tried the repeaters that plug into the AC. I should have
known since they all were returned and marked down at the store.
Didn't work at all, not even close.

Third I tried wireless repeaters from Netgear. Didn't work, wasn't
compatible with my Netgear router! I specifically brought my router
into the store and asked what would work, Fry's Electronics. Mr.
Buttface Patel assured me it would work. Netgear tech support told me
to buy two repeaters, direct connect one to my router, the other one
would connect wireless. $150 per repeater. I ripped him a new one and
got connected to a technical supervisor, Mr Subramani Knowitall, who
actually knew it all.

As it turns out the Netgear Rangemax Duo N Router # WNDR3300 has a
repeater function built in. I bought a second Rangemax ($99) and set
it as the repeater and it works like a charm. I also appreciate the
redundancy of two identical routers. A technical orgasm for sure.

FFS man how big is your mansion?! I have a linksys extreme gaming N
router and can pick up the signal all the way down the street.
