Lastly, I don't think anyone mentioned trying a cantenna. That is, a directional antenna booster (or waveguide) made from a can. Requires your laptop have a wifi 'antenna' that you can attach.
I don't know if you want to go this far, but it's worthy of note as an inexpensive and potentially really good solution, since you know exactly where the access point is you're trying to reach. http://www.turnpoint.net/wireless/cantennahowto.html _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lopsa.org http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
