or is it even possable to increase the range without changing the antenna? i am willing to modify my current antenna if thats what it takes to make it work, wireless is driving me insane, range is way to short, signal is too weak, ECT... if ANYONE knows ANYTHING about increasing the range without modifying the router, only my card or antenna, preferably my antenna, then please help.

thanks in advance


EDIT:

forgot to post my wireless card make and modle ><
its the one boxed in redYou can do that if you want. You might also consider moving it. Keep the router/antenna away from mirrors and WINDOWS. Keeps doors and such open, or move it closer to where you want to be. You can always buy an adapter which is an external antenna, so you can get better reception that way.

Flamethats the problem, im at my grandmothers and the signal is coming from the local college, according to my PING and WHOIS search on the IP of the router, i have to be right next to a window to get it, and if the computer isnt in the right place, with the antenna in the right position it will not get the signal.... oh the pciture i tryed to upload didnt work, lemme try again
...If you get a more powerful wireless G adapter antenna, it will probably reach...

FlameSo you're trying to pinch the signal from elsewhere? Is that OK with them?dunno if it is, its unsecured wireless, i bet there are a ton of people using it between here and the colledge, but, i dont want to have to change the antenna unless there is there is no other chooseQuote
