Post by: Redfish on September 14, 2009, 09:35:05 PM

Ok so my sis got herself a Laptop but it seems like she barely gets a good signal in her room.....

If you know how to flash dd-wrt to a router without bricking, you can create a bridge between 2 wrt54g routers increasing the range of your wireless network.

I have tried the pringles-can approach, and can attest to its uberness.  Its highly directional though,
so you have to aim your parabola properly.  Keep in mind that the omnidirectional nature of the signal
will now be reduced.
