I would like to have a strong internet connection throughtout the house and would like a few tips in this matter,
The AP700 has been set up as a Accesspoint. I have set up different channels on both. The SSID is the same on both.
The problem I am facing is when I come to the room with 100% signal the laptop still is logged onto the now weaker connection with 34% signal strength. What can I do so that when I move to a stronger signal area the laptop should connect to that . All advice highly welcome and appreciated. Thanks.

In the advanced tab of the adaptor properties of my wireless card i hava a "roaming aggressiveness" adjustment, maybe see if yours does? (mines an intel a/b/g integrated into a HP laptop)

Many thanks for your reply. So on both the 2100 as well as AP700 I should turn DHCP on ? I have a button which says FAST ROAMING at and the value there is -70 ? Really dont understand what this means. I have a pentagram N card.
