I do have a booster and my speeds usually are around 200Kb, whereas my dial-up was 20-35Kb. I posted a few days ago about this also. Anyway, my external antenna is the Z-boost one and I was thinking about getting a yagi instead. I do live in a wooded area so I can't actually see the tower, but it's about 3 miles away as the crow flys, and wondered if I aim it that way, if my signal would be stronger and speeds increase. If I drive near the tower with my laptop-I do get much faster speed. Maybe max-signal, or hdman have some ideas or opinions?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20649521 Mon, 16 Jun 2008 07:00:53 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20614095 Max Signal : If you have line of Sight to the tower a Yagi is an option . Keep in mind Yagis take time and patience to aim properly . If you do not have line of sight you are better off with an omni directional antenna

I have a decent signal, and yet I get frequent disconnects. Now, my POS LinkSys router is partially to blame since it can't reconnect without a reboot, but I was thinking about a Yagi. I currently have the Wilson trucker.

But With the signal level you already have I do not feel it is needed . A good omni directional antenna mounted outside should help your situation.

I have -80 dBm or lower most of the time and was told this was a good signal.
My question is, would an amplifier kit help me stay connected without so many disconnects? I am planning to network three computers thru a Cradlepoint router and it would be a big pain getting disconnected all the time and having to reset the router. I am unable to get cable or DSL and my dialup was at snails pace (Less than 24 kbps) so this is our only hope.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20606500 Sat, 07 Jun 2008 12:03:56 EDT
