How To Boost Internet?

How Can I Boost My Wireless Internet Reciving Power?

  • I have a PCI Netgear Wn311B on my desktop, its a good antenna but i only get like %50 signal, i bought a a 25 dbi omni directional antenna and well haven't hooked it up because i need a pigtail to convert to the n connection on my pci card, what i want to find out is, will connecting the pci card to the antenna boost my receiving power, or is there like a hack to boost the power to the antenna, or is there a more powerful wifi pci card that they sell. What can i do to boost my receiving power, i cant buy a more powerful router because its not my internet, im getting it from neighbors around the area, and i know you guys are ganna say to get my own isp, but seriously free internet, what more could you want.

  • Answer:

    It's going to take a hardware solution. If you are getting a weak signal, you're getting a weak signal... period - no tweaking of software will change that.

Stealing internet is illegal. You can be fined, or serve a prison sentence of up to 5 years for this, so don't expect any help here.

Stealing internet is a federal crime in most countries believe it or not... Not to mention unethical. If you leave your house unlocked, does that mean its ok for everyone to come through whenever they want? And to answer your question, theres not much you can do to increase recieving power. It can only recieve what it's getting in your location

The other antenna should work better for you....and no theres no hacks availalbe to boost speeds or signal strengths, if that still doesnt help then check out the hack - a -day site and look at the "dishes" that you can make for the antenna that are said to boost signal...

You can buy a antenna with it's own power supply that should do the trick. or just a reception booster kit you can get for a TV works, it's just a amplifier you plug in line.

change the wireless channels to something that doesnt conflict. Unplug any cordless telephones for a bit and see if signal improves
