Femtocells: It's 'When' not 'If' > wow

We have the same problem in my house. Excellent reception outside but almost nothing inside. Funny thing is that my wifi is almost 100% throughout the house but almost nothing just outside of the house.
The reason.... we replaced some of the hardboard siding last year and underneath it was foil backed foam insulation in adddition to the fiberglass insulation. Its apparently acting like a "shield" to any signals coming in and going out.
I bought a wireless repeater to try to pull a better signal into the house but it has proven to be a bugger to try to adjust. I have had to move the outside antenna several times because of a feedback loop. (apparently it also picks up the signal that it is broadcasting inside and overloads).

Look on the bright side... Your house is "hardened" for EMP

Actually maybe that helps when thunderstorms are around, actually...
