Re: What could I use to boost my wireless signal..
Can you move the router into another room?? The router can be far from your main PC, cable modem, whatever. I snaked an ethernet cable from one bedroom to the next (loosened the faceplacte for the cable TV connection. It ain't pretty, but it's behind two dressers.) The router now shoots me a much better signal to my laptop in the living room.
Any signs of interference from other networks? You might also try changing the channel on yours and get better reception to the laptop.
Can you attach an external antenna to this? Perhaps firing a directional antenna out to your laptop would work.
Folks around here also use metal reflectors around their routers to boost the signal in one direction. I've never tried it.
