How well does a wireless router work in a mobile home?

I'm getting a laptop and we already have a desktop. So we need a router so we can have both puters hooked up to the net. Will a wireless router work well in a mobile home? And what ranger am I looking at? if any.

It will work fine. Size will not matter, just make sure you setup a security key on the device.



Link below gives you some guidelines to follow.



Good Luck and happy surfing!

It doesnt matter where u are they work everywhere, since ur in a mobile home its small so ur router will cover the range of it.
As with any radio signal, metallic objects divert the signal, and in practical terms, it will modify how far the signal can carry (usually a decrease in strength), so, if you put the router in the center of the MH, you might get it to cover the entire structure inside, but outside it may drop off quite a bit.
Yes, that should work fine.



There are 3 major problems with wireless that can easily be fixed. You must make sure you put in a WPA password. WAP2 is even better. Otherwise, anybody within range can get into your network and do things to files on your computer.



Interference is another big issue. It seems like everybody uses channel 6. I suggest changing it to 1 or 11 if you experience the Internet cuts in and out. Do not use any channels besides 1, 6, or 11. Channel 3 will just overlap with 6 and 1. Even though there are 11 channels, 1, 6, and 11 are the only 3 channels that give you the maximum number of non overlapping channels.



The problem you will encounter the least often is the computer will not work while connected to the router but will work connected directly to the modem. In that case, you just clone your MAC address of one of your computers.



I doubt signal strength will even be an issue in a mobile home.



The thing people don't realize is that another technology is called powerline. Since you are buying a laptop, it will have built in wifi. But just make sure you at least enable a WPA password. Powerline eliminates most security problems found in wireless. Check this out:
