RE: Boosting wireless access point signal

It's not cardboard, it's a metallicised strip making the device operate as
a
reflector.

Neat solution, make yourself one out of foil! You can judge the size from
the
photos (there are some large ones on their site), plus a little
experimentation.

A friend of mine bought one of these and said it made a real difference.
Duno
why but buying a piece of cardboard to increase your wi-fi strength just
seems
weird to me! But at £8.95 for the item and delivery worldwide is it worth a
punt?

Hi all,

I have 2 music players connected to my wireless access point, a Linksys
Wireless G broadband router and I am having some problems with one of
the units getting a strong signal.

I live in a high rise apartment and 3 of the partition walls for the 3
rooms appear to be re-inforced concrete walls which is obviously
affecting the signal strength that I am getting. Signal on the one in
the bedroom is 63 but the living room is only 14 (Out of, I think, 64)

Anyone ever tried any of the higher gain antennas they sell for access
points? I can get the Linksys one for about £25 but would like to know
if this will be worth it or not


Regards
Dave...
