Since 802.11N is still not an officially adopted standard, if you go out and buy repeaters, your best bet is to stay within the brand.



I don't mean to ask a dumb question, but what is the mobile device (laptop, etc) capable of? If it is capable of only 802.11g, then that is your problem. 802.11N has a much wider range. If you have 802.11g devices on your wi-fi, often that will bring your 802.11N devices down to that level. If you need both, you might want to setup two wi-fi networks. One exclusively 802.11g and the other 802.11N. Both can be plugged into the same internet router/cable modem, just on different wi-fi networks. You'll have to make sure not to overlap the DHCP pools. If you get that far and need more help PM me.
