So, a few weeks ago I was at a friend’s house who was picking up “free” wi-fi from some near by source. But as it goes with weak signals, it kept coming on and off. So I decided to offer him my HighGain D-Link WIFI antenna to try. So we brought it over to his house, plugged the antenna into his usb WIFI adapter. We saw his signal go from 5-12% up to 55%. Obviously, the signal was plenty strong to connect to this “free” wifi source and browse the internet.

I haven’t tried other supposed HIGH-Gain Antennas. However, I can assure you this one works. D-LINK http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=325

I am curious to see if there is a way to boost my laptop’s antenna’s. The Antennas of course are built into the laptop.
