Hi Guys,

Looking for a bit of advice here..

basically my study was upstairs in the third bedroom, however the plan is to move the little one in there now - so I have been banished to the conservatory... so no more secretly looking for porn for me then...

Anyway - the set up I had, was a cable connection up in the bedroom, and a buffalo wireless router (though at the time I was using a wired connection to it).
Now I've moved downstairs, I'm using the wireless connection, using the asus wireless card that works with my motherboard (A7N8X-E Deluxe) - the only problem is that the signal I am getting is pretty weak - it tells me the strength is low, and depending on the wind direction drops out every now and then.

So what are my options?

I would like to have some network ports down here, so if I get a access point, can I just connect up a hub to that, and then have more ports down here? - will an access point get a better reception than my card currently does (so in turn the card will get a better reception) ? - or should I just go for another router, that can act as a bridging unit as well (like another buffalo) - any recommendations for an access point, or a router.

Should I get another antenna for the card I'm using - does one size fit all?

Edit :

By the way, to get the cable point moved, would cost me £75 - so a solution that costs less than that would be best - I already have a hub, so I don't need to factor buying one of them into it, if I just get an access point with only one port
