How about gluing heavy duty aluminum foil to corrugated cardboard to make a reflector behind the device on the far side of the device to bounce signal to/from the WiFi router? If not, connecting a directional WiFi antenna aimed at the router to an omnidirectional antenna right by the Flashair may provide a stronger signal. 73 & best regards de K7AAY j...@503bartley.com 503-227-8539 _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
