Question:
What would the right router be for us. We run the following devices on a home network: PS3, Xbox360, WII, 2 PCS, iPAD, cell phones, internet on the Panasonic TV. We also want to be able to connect wirelessly when we are in the back yard so it should have a very long range.
Answer:
Backyards entertainment used to entail a sprinkler, a stereo brought outside, and some brews. These days, people want more entertainment available to them while they soak up some rays lounging by the BBQ, or surfing channels from the living room couch. However, everyone wants more bang for their buck, and to be able to use their home devices no matter where they are…inside the home, or in the backyard.
Our resident geek suggests:
We’ve had good luck with this one which is approximately $139
You could purchase another, or one with a few less options and use it as an access point placed close to a wall near the back yard, or if you really wanted to get fancy, we could install an outdoor access point for the best signal.
Tip: Be sure to read our previous blog on securing your Wi-Fi network, to ensure you don’t have any unwanted guests accessing your network!
