Anyone have a external WiFi Antenna? - GoFuckYourself.com

I have internal WiFi in my Laptop and need better range.

Messing with internal wireless is a royal PITA. Super tiny, unaccessible connectors. Unless you are an electronics wiz, forget it.

Get a USB- or PCMCIA-Wifi-adapter with an antenna jack. Try to get one with 500 mW sending power. Might be illegal, though.

If you know where your AP sits, get a directional antenna. You have to point it at your AP, but it will really boost your range.

Hope that helps

if its for your house or office, you can put higher-gain antennas on your router and it will help quite a bit.

No, it's not my router, I need it for when I park my RV at the beach. I was thinking about this antenna but I didn't know if a USB port is good for using with an antenna.
