Wow, that is quite the mouthful. Anyway, here's the issue. My mother has been trying to set up a wireless network in the house. She knows more about networking than I do but I know enough to help, I hope.
So the wireless network has been set up and is working. But the only people that can use it are the ones with laptops. The desktops either sit in a place where signal sucks or they can't pick up the signal as well. So my mom went out and bought range extenders. Apparently you just plug these babies into a wall socket and go through a set up process and you're done. But she can't seem to get them to work.
I was hoping you 'the Team' could come up with some stuff I could try when I get over there tonight. The only thing I came up with is to turn the encryptions off so I could add the extenders to the network and sync passwords. So does anyone have any experience with this stuff or perhaps have these and be able to suggest things I might try? Thanks 'Team'.
