Boosting my reception??

[mickeyblue]

Hi Guys

Please help me with the following :

I have a mate in a flat about 35 meters from mine. He has a broadband connection and a wireless router...

Even with an SMC external wireless adaptor I pick up no signal from my laptop

Is there some network hardware that will allow me to receive his signal ?? is there such a thing as high power wireless receiver??

I obviously dont want to spend thousands. Would appreciate any help

The problem is that the wireless router is omni-directional. You'll need to set up panel antennas on both sides to ensure a solid link.

You might as well join a WUG while you're at it. Basically the same tech.

Run a network cable

Network Cable much cheaper than setting up the wireless equipment.
