Save yourself the beer money and make one

I made a couple for a netgear me102 a while back and they increased both
range and signal strength.

YMMV

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...
