I recently setup a bridge and I have a few questions. If the signal from router 1 is precieved as weak on the bridge router (router 2), what can I do to make the signal stronger?

Condition: I do not have access to the first router.

Hypoth: Can I increase the signal strength of router 2? Will this provide a stronger link between the two routers? Thank you.

I don't think increasing the strength of router 2 will do anything. It would only increase the signal out, not in.

However, you could always try to install gain-boosting antennas on router 2 (or both routers).

That's really about all you can do.

(If you don't have access to router 1, does that mean you're piggybacking off of someone's wireless? :) )

So I'm wondering how does router 2 receive signal? Using the same antennas it uses for out? – OneTimeResponse Sep 22 '09 at 19:35
