+-geek-+ Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 (edited) I have a D-Link DI-524 wireless router (says that at 100% it emits 17 dBm) and i have it all set up and i access the internet through it via a laptop in the living room (30 feet away 1 wall) just fine (windows says it has excellent, very good, or, rarely, good signal strength) then i have a wireless card in a desktop 40-50 feet away (next floor, probably 4-5 walls) and it gets good, low, very low signal strengths...and sometimes can only connect at 1-5 mbps. is there any hack or some way to boost the routers signal strength without getting a new antenna or a repeater.

Coolzero101 Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 A higher channel may make a slight slight difference, you could make a cantenna, google that up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
p8baller07 Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 I am sure there is, but you might grow a extra arm or leg, maybe even glow at night You dont wanna mess with wireless signals, if they were ment to be stronger, we would have wireless electricty...

+-geek-+ Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 i actually started making a cantenna a while back....but never found anywhere to get a reverse polarity SMA connecter for a cheap enough price to finish my pigtail...so i made a makeshift connector out of a paperclip and some wire thing i had laying around...that just lost way too much signal...so i havent worked on that for a long time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
