Aunt B. Needs Some Router Help...

The ipad can't find the router when it's at the back house, Peter. It works fine up at the front house where the router is.
Her computer and iPhone can both see the router from the back house.
That's what leads me to believe we just need a little bit of oomph so the ipad can see the router, too.

240 feet is stretching it. I get this problem with wireless security cameras. I use a corner reflector to aim the antenna direction which gives a 3-5 db gain. There are other ways. A quick search for "boosting wifi signal" or something like that will give you some more ideas.
