I'm having a tought time right now. I bought this router thinking it would solve my problem of not having a powerful enough signal to my laptop. My house is shaped like a long rectangle and have two major hallways in the shape of an "L". my router is in in the top of the "L" because that is where the DSL access was installed (previous owner was a genious!) and that is where the modem is located. I have a wireless router in that room and I have a straight line shot to my living room is is at the elbow of the "L" shaped hallways. So the signal is beautiful in the living room. However I have a bed room in the opposite part of the "L" and I get one bar or about 15% signal at best. I have an relatively new Belkin wireless g router that has the ability to bridge or be a repeater and I was wondering how I would set this up so I could get a clear signal down the other hallway to the bedroom.
BTW, I'm very new to this wireless networking thing and I'm don't really know if I can even do what I am trying to attempt. Oh, and the wireless USB network adaptor is also a Belkin N reciever so it does work, like I said, but very weak.
Could someone please help? :'(

That unit can not be used as a repeater. However you can configure it as an access point and connect it to the other router with ethernet. You'd be better off retuning that and purchasing a device that can repeat your router.
