if current router doesn't reach back rooms - will this one? or will I still need a booster

It depends on how far is your router from the back rooms. Also, wireless networks are also susceptible to obstructions that may lead to low signal. Often, the signal gets reflected, refracted or absorbed by the obstruction. Here are some tips: http://www.belkin.com/us/support-article?articleNum=8131

I live in a 80ft. Mobile home and works great,it is great while I am outside also

yeah I have to move my work computer to the same room the router is in for my VPN to work reliably. I would say the range in our house with this router is only about 75 ft at best.

Frequently a metal object may block the wifi signal. Try elevating the router - you may have a kitchen appliance blocking the signal.

This router may (emphasis on 'may') help if your network in the house is saturated with multiple computers accessing streaming media/gaming at the same time. I'd stick with what you have.

I am using this router in a 3600 sq ft home with Rastra construction and it works fine. I did add a wireless extender at the far end of the house to boost the signal for my daughters bedroom. Without the extender she got 3-4 bars and with the extender 5 bars.

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately I have already returned the DIR 655. Secure Spot....Hmmmm. Not quite sure what that is. Unfortunate that when I contacted D-Link about the problem that they did not mention this. Seems odd that the router would work with all of the computers on the wireless network, but would not work with the BD 390. Oh well, guess I will purchase another router and try again.Thanks again

Kind of an odd question, No. The idea behind an extender is that it sits in another room or area or a different floor, but can communicated with the router to "extend" the routers signal. Best of Luck!

Should work fine. My computer is on 2nd floor at opposite end of the house where the router is located.

Yes you will need some sort of router, this will not affect your computer speed.

I do not think that it will, as it does need a connection from an existing router.

If you're familiar with Belkin entry level routers its about the same. I live in a two story house with solid concrete walls. The router is downstairs and I get good signal on the side of the upper floor above the router. On the other side of the upper floor I have to use a repeater.

I have a different model of router as well, but it is an Actiontec from Verizon and the signal booster works with it. Just screw off the stick antenna On the router and replace it with the cable from the signal booster,

Yep. In fact, that's the main reason I purchased this item.It all depends on the actual router whose signal your extending.

Yes, definitely you will get great signal. Your speeds will be very similar as if you had your wireless needing device next to the router. Hopes this helps

You will probably get the same reception no matter where you place it. If your Internet access isn't a problem, try splitting the difference and place the router on the first floor or you can do what I did and that is purchase a D-Link range extender. The model I bought is DAP-1320 and it work fine. All you need to do is plug it into a wall socket. The first floor should work fine.

You'll want an outlet somewhere in between the two locations that you can install the Extender. My router is downstairs. My bedroom is upstairs and down 3 rooms from the stairs. I placed my Extender in the hall after the first room and I have excellent signal in my bedroom from it.

Almost certainly. The trick will be getting the settings right. I gave up on mine after several days of trying. You are in a better position since you have the same brand of router, I did not.

It is just standard booster and must fit into most of the routers. Otherwise you can always get connection convertor from frys. The only thing is the fact that the booster itself is heavy and keeps falling from up-right position.

Nope, just link it to your router, I had no problems with this unit, I am still using it today, no problems.
