Not been on here in a while, just had the most shitty life of my week.
Basically left my woman, moved out, no more cable :*( but oh well.
Anyhow, I'm back living with the parents who have a Belkin ADSL MIMO router, that is on the top floor of the house and I am 2 floors under.
Been out to get a wireless PCI card, went for the Netgear WPN311 rangemax jobby cos of the distance the signal has to travel.
When I put the wireless card in, and tested it all I was getting a 100% signal, then I pushed my tower back into its corner where it now lives and the signal hads dropped to around 70% mark.
My question is this, what would be better:-
One of those longer aerials with a 9db gain etc
or
A SMA extension lead to basically get the standard aerial away from the walls..
A lead would cost about £10 delivered, and a new aerial would cost a couple quid more.
Not sure what would be best cos I don't know how much power would be lost through a extension cable.
Anyone tried and tested this?
