My dad does not have a high speed internet connection, but his friend, two houses over, does and is willing to share it via his linksys router. I purchased a linksys 802b/g pci wireless card and installed it fine on my dad’s computer, but the computer cannot detect any network in the area. My dad’s neighbor took his laptop out into his yard to find that the wireless transfer was barely reaching out side the walls of his home.
What can I do? Can I just purchase any old antenna and plug it into the back to boost the reception, or does it have to be one of those antennas made just for pci wireless cards?
If I have to purchase one of those special antennas what is generally considered the best one? Would the indoor ones be good enough or do I need to spend $100 for one of those outdoor ones?
Thanks
