hello - I recently moved back to SF and am psyched on the wifi community here. Unfortunately, I live in an area where there are no clear hotspots.
I would appreciate any suggestions on how I might improve my range, etc. Here is my current config: XP Home Desktop using MS-USB 802.11b wireless adaptor W2K notebook using Xircom 802.11b PCMCIA card SMC Barricade 802.11b wireless router (SMC7004WBR) I also have a Senao SL-2511CD Plus 200mW card which really doesn't help me much (is there a way to connect an antenna to this?) I have two neighbors that have Airports and another two with unknown APs. The one with the best range is a WEP-enabled Airport, of which I met the owner and he is willing to share his connection with me. The problem is that the signal is pretty weak. I would greatly appreciate it if someone would provide me with suggestions on how to improve my reception. Either by extending the range of my current adaptors or the Barricade or otherwise. I am pretty handy, I just need a bit of a kickstart. Thanks in advance!
