For Interest.
I have a Marconi WIFI Router and USB Dongle to connect Laptop. Other PCs are hardwired. Laptop about 20 m from router. Passes through two walls and door. Walls made of stone and approx .5 m thick. House built in 18 Century.
Whilst I have been receiving a link quality of 100% my signal strength has been about 35 - 45 %. I downloaded the template for a parabolic antenna called windsurfer from freeantenna.com and after assembling the antenna now get constant 60 - 65% signal strength.
Can now sit on stoep and watch whales while internet surfing (provided South Easter is not howling)!
Have a good day
