the adsl rooter is in my room
my mom's room is about 35m away and there is a wall in the way

but on hir phone it picks up the wifi (only one stripe)

i have a mega wr105 (from telkom)

if i get this

sitecom-wl-031-wireless-network-omni-antenna-10dbi


will it get a better stronger signal and will it fit in a wr105

the main resion is my mom want to connect hir pc to the wifi

this is the adapter that will go with it

trendnet-150mbps-mini-wireless-n-usb-adapter,

do u guys think it will work?

i am outside in a "granny flat"
we have long lan cables atm but it gives lots of crap
so i want to connect it in wifi

or will just the adapter pick up a better signal than just the phone?
in that case ,i can save money by not buying the stronger atenna

thank you

1) rooter => An enthusiastic devotee of sports a.k.a. A sports fan.
2) router => A device that forwards data packets between computer networks

I assume you want option (2)

If the WR105 has an SMA Male Plug, then it will work. Check the manual which is probably on the CD which came with the router.

I prefer using these types of aerials:

Because they come with a long cable which means that it can be moved around to obtain the best signal.

You can also contact Poynting (http://www.poyntingdirect.co.za/) as they are aerial experts & can offer you good advice & the correct product.

thank you,its for my mom tho
i talked to her
and she said she will buy a lan cable one long one
so that there is not "connecters" that can give probs

the internet work now,one coneccter got wet and started to rust( cables are outside)

[Zarathustra]

I would recommend that you put the cabling into some sort of conduit to protect it from the elements. It isn't expensive & easy to install.

and the connecter i tapped shut,real good with water proof tape,but it ja

it still rusted,it works,but not so good
