Hey guys got a tech question here
Well I finally moved into my campus apartment. Installed my a Linksys B/G wireless pci card into a desktop computer I built. Installed the software. Followed the instructions on my wireless internet agreement. And tried to generate a new IP address but it didnt have enough signal strength. Moved the antennae and the tower and got less reception. Went from 2 bars (about 11.0 mbps) to 0 (less than 1 mbps).
I was wondering if there was a way to get better reception with the pci card wireless nic or if I am going to have to take that thing back to walmart (which probably wont happen because I lost the ticket).
The only idea I have had is to put a coaxial cable and rabbit ears on it. I'm partially certain that the coax cable will fit on the card but I dont know if thats a good idea.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions/ideas/comments.
