Netgear WGR614 Range Booster

Hello people. I use this router, is it possible for me to install or use some kind of a signal booster on it? My second floor has very weak signal strength. Any suggestion to me?? Thank you all for your help!!

Hi ilyabyk83,

Welcome to the forums.

I think you can buy a booster for the signal. Here is an example.

Also you may be able to log into the routers GUI and boost it yourself. Most router companies set their power output at half by default. So for example the power output has a range of 10 yours most likely is set to 4 or 5. You can log into the routers IP and access its GUI and change/boost that up to a higher level.

Read your owners manual or if you lost it check the manufacturer's website for a PDF on the router. I think you will be fine just adjusting this setting rather than getting some sort of extender.

Hey!! Thank you for your help. There is no way to pull the antenna off. I broke one router of this kind already, by trying to pull it out. If you can tell me exactly what to do, then I will do it. And then, after I pull it off, what is then? There is no connector of any kind!!
