Verbatim Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Long sotry short a bud in a nearby aparmtent is letting me onto his wireless network. I recently bough tthis laptop, and this is my first expierence with wireless networking. I get a signal, however it is only 2 bars(low) and often disconnects, otherwise giving me slow speeds. I was wondering what my options were in terms of increasing my reception. No amplifiers, reflectors, or any of that stuff to go near his router. Any options?? Also, and this is extremly newbie I know, but I am using my built in wlan. Would buying an external card significantly boost the range, reception, or both? What options do I have with and without buying a card? Thanks for all the responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieterich Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Get a PCMCIA card that has an external antenna connector and get a cantenna. http://www.cantenna.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
