Re: How's My Signal? Would an antenna improve speeds?

Heh, I could've...I can write novels on those keyboards, as opposed to the vertical-style ones (despite my love for all things Palm). Actually, this post and the one before are via WMWiFiRouter. Best piece of software ever

Looking at -69 now (5.5 foot position, not my desk). Connection is a bit more jittery this morning, but I'm guessing that's because people are using the network. Here's what I get form VoIPReview:

Is that about as good as it's gonna get?

I've always gotten better speeds with my EVDO modem vs my Mogul, even though both are RevA - and that is with a antenna plugged into both.

Makes sense. $150 is a lot of money but I'll porbably pick up the Virgin Mobile modem as soon as it drops. Hopefully it'll get me 1.5/512 here. Just wish there weren't those pesky caps.

Swapping the method of connection between the modem and the cell phone from time to time ought to deal with the caps - particularly since you're using WMWifiRouter.
