So.....................Like my apartment building has Wireless...It was great until the front office decided to rearrange the furniture.....Now I get about 12Mbps transfer rate............Not enough to look at porn and barely enough to post. I need to wait 2-3 mins with every new post and most times my connection just shuts down. After sharing my concerns with front office..well lets just say, they dont care.

Question ? Is there some type of signal booster I can buy to help my problem ? I can set my computer up outside on the porch and that works pretty good but, that is not gonna make me happy............................

If its advertised as free wireless why not just ask them about it? Or are u borrowing it? :sonicjay:

 

[Bones]

I was thinking some rich fuk at living at shanty creek year round would have a wireless network. Or someone renting out their cabin for golfer's. Shanty sreek is a golf resort also right?

Shanty creek is many things, primarly Ski and golf. And there is a good portion of year round residence............and some are poor. Many of the work force live here and all of them are very very poor.

buy them a booster antenna for the router...?

 

[Sandals]

uh, they sell active USB extensions that would extend your receiver to where it gets signal.

Note ACTIVE, a passive extension will not maintain USB 2.0 speeds. And you can connect multiple active usb extensions.

Another option would be to purchase a network "bridge".
An external piece of gear with an antenna. Set it up to pick up that network where you get good signal (and typically a bridge will have better reception than a standard wireless card) and run a Cat5 line into your computer, or wireless access point.
