Any suggestions for quality home house wireless where the wireless doesn't work through most walls well? Currently netgear through the wiring setup, works, just wondering if anyone had any suggestions for bettering it? Thanks, Rich -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-newbie Just read this. Might it work in your case? Bob Longer Wi-Fi ReachIf your home Wi-Fi router doesn’t reach the other end of the house, don’t rush out to buy more wireless gear to stretch your network. Instead, build a six-inch-high passive radio wave reflector from kitchen items, like an aluminum cookie sheet. Follow the instructions at freeantennas.com/projects/template. Place the completed reflector — a small, curved piece of metal that reflects radio waves just like a satellite TV dish — behind your Wi-Fi router. It focuses the router’s energy in one direction — toward the other end of the house — rather than letting it dissipate its strength in a full circle. No cables, no batteries, no technical knowledge required. Yet it can easily double the range of your network. -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-newbie
