I don't know of anything that can be done with the SBs other than maybe

Some things to try:
Ensure that the aerial(s) on the router (if it has external) are

I had this exact problem: weak wireless signal after I moved, and ended
up with the wireless router and the SB3 too far away from one another,
or with too many obstructions between them. I bought a wireless gaming
bridge - basically something that bridges a wired only device (XBox,
etc) to a
Thanks for the suggestions.
The gaming bridge is an interesting option; in fact, I have another
wireless router (Netgear Rangemax) doing nothing right now so maybe I
could turn that into a bridge somehow.
One day I'd like to have an n network and a g network.

Using a wireless bridge is kind of ironic considering the SB3 itself is
supposed to be one! LOL
You may run into difficulties trying to get devices from different
manufacturers to repeat. There may also be security issues on the
Netgear side. I know my DG834g won't support WPA under WDS.

I had to move my WAP to the basement and had issues with wireless
coverage with my Linksys WRT54GS. Getting a pair of high gain antennas
from Radio Shack that cost $7 solved the problem for me. I'm also using
DD-WRT which allows you to crank up the wireless radio power if need be.
I'm using the
The whole wireless thing seems a little like a black magic right now. I
tried refreshing the status page last night and the signal strength on
the SB3's fluctuated quite a bit w/o me actually doing anything; in
fact, the one on the 2nd floor would disappear and reappear.
On the other hand, the
Unfortunately my Netgear doesn't support WDS and WPA.
I raised the router about 2 feet and now I'm getting a consistent 50
with one SB3 and 95 with the Transporter; however, the SB3 upstairs is
very erratic. I refreshed the status page seven times in a row and got
39, 19, 21, 21, 21, 41 and
If you can find another router at a good price you can use DD-WRT to
turn it into a repeater. Solved my problems.

Download and install Netstumbler from here:

called Macstumbler.
It takes the guesswork out of determining what channels any of your
neighbours are using. It also shows their relative strengths so you can
avoid the strongest

I made two of the foil backed cardboard jobs and the signal strength
increase on a PC was two bars out of 5.

I don't think the stand acts as an external antenna. IIRC, there are
just two internal antennas. Someone has done exactly what you're
contemplating, though:

You're right, there are no external antennas, i just saw that in another
thread. I changed the channel on my route and that has helped get the
avg signal strength to 70 from 60. Tomorrow i'll play around with
router placement (its upstairs)
