Hi just got a new router Netgear N150.

Did have a Netgear DG834gV2 which when in the garden I could pick up my wireless fine. But this new one is in the same place as the old one, but signal is very low to none at all when in the garden.

I would have thought newer routers would be better. I have channel set as auto,

anything I can do, am i perhaps missing something? Just find it strange this has less range than the old one.

There was nothing wrong with the old one, Orange just sent me a new one. I decided to use it as the old router was some 5 or so years old


Maybe someone could share some light on it for me. thank you.
 
Annoying me now. Decided to play a bit of BF2 on the ps3 and its laggy. Takes me back to computer days.

Thinking of putting the old DG834Gv2 back on. Never had lag like this before.

Seriously, technology should get better not worse.

Maybe its just not a good router Orange sent me.
