2 Routers

Hello,

I wonder if anyone out there maybe able to give me a little bit of
advise on a subject.

My boss has a Draytek 2800g wireless router set up in an office at this
house, but the signal is not so good if he chooses to work elsewhere in
the house. He has asked me to set up a 2nd wireless router (again a
Draytek 2800g) in another position so rectify this problem.

Is this a straight forward job?

What I was hoping for was his laptop to automatically pick up the
strongest signal, and if he were to stand up with his laptop and move
rooms, for the laptop to automatically switch routers?

Is this possible?

Thanks

If he has any signal, a different antenna, or a reflector, on the one
router might give good signal throughout the house.

Any directional antenna would be good. A higher gain omni antenna than
stock might be okay, but directional is usually better.

You can't have two routers actively competing for control. Perhaps if you
used the 2nd router as an AP it might work.
