I have an 802.11g microsoft router (MN-700) and I can only go about 50
feet away from it with my laptop before the signal begins to cut out. I was
wondering if there was any way of either increasing the signal strength or
using an antenna of some sort to amplify the signal. Please...any news right
now is good news!!!

No, there isn't an add-on to use, but you might try switching channels from
the default Channel 6. Sometimes people get better results with 1 or 11.
Construction does a lot to cutting the signal, so it depends on the
environment in which you're operating. Make sure the base station isn't
against a wall or near other electrical appliances.

Dear Jonathan,

If I might add something to Chris' response. You can
extend the range of the laptop adapter pretty easily.

Try this little invention...
