Is there any means (cable and fittings available) for moving the
antenna from a Linksys WMP54G Wireless adapter and putting it on
top of the CPU box instead of behind it? I am getting a weak
signal on that computer, and I think the main reason is that the
CPU box is shadowing the adapter's antenna.
This computer is downstairs from my gateway, and about 60 feet
horizontally removed from the gateway. Unfortunately, the
downstairs computer has to face toward the gateway, putting the
adapter's antenna behind and in the shadow of the metal CPU box.
I would like to find a small base and the necessary cable to put
the antenna on top of the CPU box and try it that way. Have any
of you ever done this?
