Generally, the best place to install an extender is halfway between the devices needing a connection and the router. If that would be outdoors between two homes as in your case, pick an inside wall that is closest to the halfway point. However, if the signal path passes through a wall or floor at a shallow angle, that can be worse than any distance problem. In that case you can get better results by installing an extender away from the direct line-of-sight between computer and router, so that the signal zigzags through walls and floors as perpendicular as possible. I had horrible problems with only 50 feet between my computer and my router because my office is under concrete stairs supported by a concrete wall. I got excellent results with an inexpensive Netgear WN3000RP right outside my office, with a zigzag 90 degree path to dodge past the concrete.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This product should work. But of course you will need a password to access your brothers connection.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would get a outdoor access point hard wire it that should get the signal to her house then maybe use the netgear extender if needed but a good outdoor access point mite just do it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You will need a Range Extender, Please look into getting one that can cover the necessary distance. I like the NEtgear products because it was easy to set up. You need to find a place in the house where the signal is (ok or strong) plug the extender there and take it from there. I did something similar at work.
I would recommend:
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We were very happy with the Netgear extender. I would try it. It gave us a much stronger signal, even outside far from our router.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Put it your moms house but make sure your brother is ok with you extending his internet to her house
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.But a high end ac router for his house. Buy a high end wifi extender for moms and configure them together and you'll be golden
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Put it in your brothers house (set it up) - then go to grandmas and see if you can see the WiFi network (whatever ur brother named it) from there. If it shows up, ur good. If not - you might need a stronger extender or could consider upgrading your router to a class-N network, if the router doesn't support that band. (contact ur service provider for a new router). I believe the extender (or a comparable good strong one) should solve ur needs. Best of luck.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This might work. You set it up (very easy) at your brothers house near his router. Then you'd bring it to your mom's house and see if it picks up the signal. One way to test might be to bring a cell phone to your moms house and see if you can use your brothers WiFi. If yes, then this would likely work.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have not tried to extend the signal with this product over that long of a distance.
