Can I boost my signal?

I have the microsoft wireless router MN-700. Can I use any wireless router
booster to send my signal for greater coverage? If so, what brand. It is
802.11g. Any help would be appreciated.

No. The MN-700 has two antenna, internal and external. There is no way to
"boost" the signal. You might look for a device which will wirelessly
receive/send to spread the coverage. Microsoft, which is out of the
networking hardware business, does not have such a device.

I am using my MN-700 in a MH parked on my sons property. I am using my
router with his Sat internet. He had a DLink DWL-800AP+ repeater from an
older application, so I set it up and have it in the MH to boost the signal.
I now connect to his system at 54 Mbps. I have the MN-700 set up with WEP
and MAC filtering, but the repeater is open.

You're wired with the MN-700 to the DLink, correct? So that's what is
accessing the signal. 8-)

No, I connected the MN-700 to the Sat modem, and connected his computer to
the MN-700 with a cable. Now the modem/router signal is available 24/7. I
have a MN-720 for my laptop, but the signal in the MH wasn't as strong as I
like because he has a tin roof, so set up the DLink as a repeater between
the MN-700 and my laptop. The DLink just sits on the sunvisor of the MH and
repeats the signal in both directions.

Correct. That's the job of the repeater. 8-)

Sorry about that. I thought you meant that the 700 was wired to the DLink
instead of the DLink being a remote wireless repeater:

"You're wired with the MN-700 to the DLink, correct?"

The DLink 8xx devices have an access point client function (like a
gaming adapter).

Barb, do the terms 'repeater' and 'ap client' refer to the same function?

no. an example of an AP Client would be a gaming adapter like the MN
740 or the DGL 3420.
