boosting router output?

[clem556]

I have a wireless network.

My laptop is getting a poor signal in some areas of the house.

Is it possible to boost the out put signal from my wireless router?

Can you buy or make a better araial than the two little ones fitted as standard?

Router type Draytec vigor2600 we.

Linksys makes a Booster for 80 bucks for its router, I'm sure Draytec must have something similar. It's a separate unit. BTW Linksys says if ya open the box and mess with the antena it will void the warrenty.

actaully i think i saw somewhere that sold a linksys wireless signal booster. you stack it on top of your wireless router/broadband modem.

i wouldn't know if draydec has something similar. otherwise maybe if you make a large aerial conehead shaped hat from aluminum tinfoil and tape it to your head that might boost your reception

I had heard that you could use a pringle tube!

I was hoping some one would know details. anode-cathode?

I am great at soldering.

i do aware that, change the anetenna to a better db will sort the problem... But alas, im not that savvy yet.
