Hey ppl pls suggest a range extender. My budget can go from 2-4 max. The range should be enough to cover one floor & one floor only.

thanks

I have two routers available with me - netgear n150 & Binatone dt 850w. Which of these can be used & a little tutorial would be helpful. thanks

beside configuring you just need to connect 2 models using a lan wire.

Is it possible to connect both routers wireless??

yes but that requires both models having wireless bridge support or repeater mode.

Do the models above support wireless bridge mode.? Cos I can't have the routers connected by a single wire, being on different floors.

netgear has it i think(since exact model no. is not mentioned) but i doubt binatone has it as it is a cheap bsnl issued wireless adsl modem.also post the full model name of netgear as N150 is simply a classification(N150 for 150mbps wax wifi speed while N300 is 300mbps max wifi speed).

You can buy two tp link Routers w8961 i think, both has WDS option. Very easy to setup. That way you will have wireless bridge to support long range of wifi at your home. You can buy one adsl+router and another router only.
