Best is to move the Wifi device to the second floor so that both first and second floor gets some coverage.
Jaggu, I think the houses are in 2 different buildings as he has mentioned the 3rd floor house in an adjacent row.
Hello,

On the 3rd floor do you get even a little bit of the 1st floor wireless signal? If you do then you may be able to use a range extender. If you cannot then you need a signal booster, but I am not sure if it will boost the signal enough for it to reach the 3rd floor.
What is the approximate distance between the two houses?

Around 30 Feet Max. I guess along with that I have to change the position of my orginal router from inside room to wall near the gate so that it can give some signals out.
@Jaggu: Its apartment, I have ground floor as well as 3rd floor with me.
Anybody using 'Tenda' brand router (chinese).
They have a wireless-N model that is re-branded and used by other companies. Seen some good reviews.

Since it is an apartment, check if it is possible to run a CAT5 cable from the ground floor to the 3rd floor. If that is possible then you can run this cable and connect an access point to it on the 3rd floor.
Also you can try to move your router to a place where you can pick up a signal on the 3rd floor and then boost that signal using a range extender. There are wireless boosters available on Ebay but I am not sure how well they will work.
i am planning to buy a 3g usb enabled compact wifi router any suggestion , primary useage is to create hotspot for my tab / ipad while travelling & home where no wifi is available .
Guys,
I have applied for BSNL Broadband and look like bsnl doesnt provide any modem now-a-days,so i need to get one on my own.
So can anyone suggest a good wifi modem for about 3k.
Cheers
^^^You can buy an Asus for Rs. 2,090 on eBay. Since its Asus it should be good. Seems like a very good deal. I dont think you can get one at this price at any offline shop. If someone thinks otherwise about Asus routers, please comment.
@Schoudhury, maybe you could look at a wi-max connection from BSNL. The good things are that they give you a modem, which you want anyway, plus they also verify if your premises is actually in range of their facilities. They bringa modem and check if it will work.
I have two of them in two shops.
If it is wi-fi range extender you are looking for, you could also look at this:
Amazon.com: Netgear Universal WN3000RP Wi-Fi Range Extender: Electronics
"Netgear Universal WN3000RP Wi-Fi Range Extender"
I purchased one from Amazon and have been using it for three months now, with no issues.
I'm getting ACT broadband installed this week at my place, and wanted to know if I needed a new wifi router. I currently have a Teracom wifi+adsl2 modem/router (T2B-Gawv1.4u10...) (BSNL), which seems to do its job pretty well, but am quite unhappy with BSNL and with ACT present in my area, I could as well give it a shot. I was wondering if I could use the same as a router for my ACT connection. The FTTH box is going to be setup in the building and an RJ45 comes into my house (I think this is how it works). Could I use my existing device or will I have to buy a new router?

Are you sure your ADSL2+Modem/Router can take RJ45 cable as input? For a modem the input is normally RJ25 (not sure of the number but it smaller than RJ45) to which you can use RJ45 as output for your computer (in wired mode) connected using ethernet cable.
In your new connection you would need only a router as the modem functions would be done by FTTB box. Technically, yours in not FTTH but FTTB (Fiber to the Building ) as the cable does not end in your house but short of it.

It's RJ45 at both ends for a wired Ethernet connection.
