Hi Manfred - When I was asking about routers awhile back there were any number of suggestions and links to plans for making homemade antennas that were supposed to be good. I plan to try one or more of them soon. I had cataract surgery this morning so I should soon be better at reading the small print and figuring out what might work, though I am having a bit of a hard time typing at the moment. BillR

She is at camp Victory and a bunch of the people got together and bought a used satellite dish from some of the guys who were coming home. They live in three trailers with foot thick concrete blast walls between them. They have two access points on two of the trailers but since she is the only one in the third trailer in on the deal there is no router there and her computer doesn't get the signal. So she wants to buy a router that she can use when she gets back. I don't understand how a wireless router will get the signal when her laptop can¢t but I think it is just the size of the antenna on the laptop vs. the one on the router. That would mean I guess that she would connect her laptop to the router with a cable and use that or can she just connect to it wireless without a computer connected to the router with a cable? Anyway I know there was talk about that on the list a while back but I didn't pay much attention to it so if any of you have an opinion I would be happy to pass it on to her.
