Hey all, my apologies for not being present too much recently. I have been having some trouble with my wireless network. As of late, I have been accessing the internet through a Linksys WAP54G wireless access point, which is in my parents house next door, and a Linksys WMP54G PCI card.

Because of the distance, my connection suffers poor signal quality, and regularly drops out Confused

Now I have heard of methods to increase range (e.g. hacked firmware, hardware mods, bigger antennae, etc.) but I was wondering if any of you have ideas that might help me solve my problem.

Thanks for any help,
roo Smile

*edit* oh btw, I had considered building my own WiFi antenna, but I'm not sure which method would work best

You should definitely be able to flash the firmware on the WAP at your parents place, try here. You could also inversting in a network extender, I've had nothing but success with those

Thanks for the input mate.

I was thinking about it, but I didn't want to brick my new WAP. However, i have read of ways to recover, so I might give it a shot.

Cheers, roo Wink

OK, well I flashed my ap with the hyperwap firmware, and its better, but still leaves a lot to be desired.

So I have decided to buy some TNC connectors and use an external antenna setup.

So, hopefully I'll get there soon, thers only so much I can afford Confused

also, you can access your router from its IP address and turn up the power.. i called linksys for assistance on one computer that wouldnt connect, and the guy told me how to change it from like channel 6 to channel 11, and it went from good to excellent at the other end of the house...

yeah, thats exactly what I did Wink Bumping the tx power up by just 10mW made a big difference. Also, as you said, ch.11 seems the best, with least noise etc.

lol, someone in my area is not using any encryption, MAC filters etc..........
