Quote:The next day I pointed the antenna out the window while my wife drove us
to our friend's house. The laptop was running Netstumbler and beeping frantically.

Let me tell you any woman that lets you point a tin can out the
window with a laptop beeping constantly as it acquires new 802.11
access points while she's driving is a keeper.

Obviously, I ate the chili.
You didn't think I'd throw away the chili did you?

James came over around this time and started making his cantenna.
Soon I was cooking his mini-raviolis.
Mmmm, mini-raviolis....


Lol Lol Lol

some quality text on there
have you tried high-gain antennas on your router and receiving end?

Often you can just buy a high gain antenna aka. BIG AERIAL and screw it on in place of the tiny shitty one thats already attached. They can make a huge difference. Dont think theyre too pricey but i'll have to have a look around for ye. Smile

i have 1000meters of cat5 cable if you want me to make you a cable up sloc

try those - uses the electrical wiring in the house as data wiring. plug one into the plug near the router, cat5 cable from router into the plug and then one at your pc end.

they work a treat Xyxthumbs
some routers let you install a linux flavor that you can customize to fuck. one config is to boost the antenna signal Wink

and you can buy a more strong omnidirectional dbi antenna too. this is IF the problem is the router signal...many things can jam the signal...plants, watercoolers, 2.4Ghz wireless phones...
Thanks for the tips here peeps...

batfink -- not tried naffink on my pc or router, may well take up wWlsh's suggestion though (if I can find something reasoably priced)

bobo -- wanna try and avoid network cable. won't be able to shut the door - it's like a safe! Lol
