What if your laptop already has a card built in any way to exstend range?

Actually, you can improve your range by adding an external antenna First, you need to open your computer and locate the WiFi card Figure out a route for your pigtail to exit the computer and, if need be, drill a hole for it to pass through

You can purchase pigtail cables with appropriate connectors at each end so you can mount the port for your external antenna on the notebook

Any other ways? cause id break somthing if i took apart my laptop any body know any other ways (thxs LasVegas)

There is a USB powered extender that attaches outside of the notebook and boosts any local signal without actually touching the WiFi card It's called the Quicky!

IF you dont want to open your laptop or pay that much cash for the quicky do the actual instructable and run off that card instead of your other one or just get a 30$ wireless g adapter and mod the wittly bitty antenna

What im talking about.What im talking about

that's for a mac

Since there's no software involved, Quicky would work on any notebook

thnxs

then you are super duper and wasted time looking at my instructable or not

what,that,minipigtail?Man those are ultra small!

I've been reading a LOT of this WiFi stuff here on our extraordinary Instructables.com and was wondering if anyone has tested the strainer method against the coffee can or pringles method and also against using an old directv satellite and such Which one would give me the best reception? I'm guessing the satellite dish but I am new to this

TIA!

I wouldnt consider this to be a WEP or WPA hack or a hacking device but its still a neat mod either way thanks for the instructable

I"m not even a qualified newbie, I just joined to make comments well, maybe not, but all my "projects" have failed so far '_'

i've never done this before and it was still easy for me to follow idk maybe im special the real comment is about how nice it is to meet someone else who disables all that shnazz in windows xp to make it be classic cheapest upgrade you can make joy

my instructable is just a basic reference to extension antennas mod and it is my first 1 com'on you all were a newbies at one point so i'll try to make the proper ajustments according to your comments

Surprisingly, I was able to follow your steps having performed antenna extensions myself in the past I would have had problems otherwise

As the poster, you are allowed to make corrections and adjustments at any time, just click the EDIT button in the upper right

Your instructable should be written as if you're trying to explain the process to someone that's never seen a computer Don't assume anyone knows anything

After you've explaned it as clearly as you possibly can, go back to every step and read it out loud to yourself If anything sounds wrong, fix it Once that's

done, run a spell check Everyone make spelling errors Smart people use spell checkers

THANKS FOR THE TIPS I WILL BE DOING MORE ON THIS PAGE AND NEW ONES AS WELL

I'm afraid I wouldn't post something if these are the best pix I could produce! I can't make out what you're trying to do Better luck next time!

This needs some cleaning up (proof read and it ought to be more clear) ;)

How did your performance change (good/bad/etc.)?

Ummmmm maybe you should mention what exactly this mod does

better wireless performance and connectivity

How to do the mod would be nice This instructable doesn't really tell you how to do it As hooloovoo33 said, it also doesn't tell you what you're doing
