Laptop Wireless - Improving signal?

Shinanigans · 16th August 2008, 2:52 PM

Hi thar,

I have an Asus M50SV. I'm wondering if/what is the easiest way to increase my wireless signal? The laptop doesn't have a PCMICIA slot... is there such a thing as like a USB booster aerial or even a USB WLAN adaptor with a mega huge aerial? Just wondering what options there are for boosting laptop wireless

Cheers!

I remeber there was a Linksys wireless adapter with some special chipset that had a antenna too. hmm...

ahh the joys of long range wireless

LOL at the size of the 8dBi Antenna:

^ that's a USB stick on the end of the 3m long cable
