Boost Modem Wifi Signal

[RioMist]

Is there any way or purchase a product that will boost the signal from my Zyxel modem. Some places in my home i get a good signal but in other places no signal at all.

I also want to know. I bought a bigger antenna to replacethe existing antenna on Zyxelmodembut modem has fixed antenna and taken off to be replaces.

But if anyone has a good idea would be great

Question: How Can the Range of a Wi-Fi Network Be Boosted?You can boost the signal range of a Wi-Fi computer network in several ways:

Answer:

• reposition your router (or access point) to avoid obstructions and radio interference. Both reduce the range of Wi-Fi network equipment. Common sources of interference in residences include brick or plaster walls, microwave ovens, and cordless phones. Additionally, consider changing the Wi-Fi channel number on your equipment to avoid interference.
• upgrade the antenna on your router (or access point). Wi-Fi antennas on most wireless base stations can be removed and replaced with more powerful ones.
• add another access point (or router). Large residences typically require no more than two APs, whereas businesses may employ dozens of APs. In a home, this option requires connecting your primary wireless router (access point) to the second one with Ethernet cable; home wireless routers and/or APs don't normally communicate with each other directly.
• add a bi-directional Wi-Fi signal amplifier to wireless devices as needed. A Wi-Fi signal amplifier (sometimes called "signal booster") attaches to a router, access point or Wi-Fi client at the place where the antenna connects. Bi-directional antennas amplify the wireless signal in both transmit and receive directions. These should be used as Wi-Fi transmissions are two-way radio communications.
• add a Wi-Fi repeater. A wireless repeater is a stand-alone unit positioned within range of a wireless router (access point). Repeaters (sometimes called "range expanders") serve as a two-way relay station for Wi-Fi signals. Clients too far away from the original router / AP can instead associate with the WLAN through the repeater.

I made the aluminium foil wrapped around cardboard model and it worked a treat. There were a few places in the garden where I couldn't get a wifi signal. After making the booster (antenna) I can now use wifi everywhere.

Keep in mind that Wifi communications is a "two-way" affair. That is, you could have wireless router/modem that puts out enough power to roast a chicken and computers can see its signal a mile away, but your computer's Wifi chip must also be able to talk to/reply to your wireless modem/router to get back-and-forth communications. So, just boosting the output/gain of your wireless modem/router may not provide any benefits if your computer's Wifi chip/antenna can not put out enough power for your modem/router to pickup.
