Internet connection problems...

[Squirrel]

Well just like every summer when i come home, my internet waves arent strong enough to travel all the way to the other side of the house and a floor up to get to my computer... are there any cheap and easy ways to boost the strength of my signal on a linksys box?
TIA

You can buy another antenna for it. Or set up a repeater somewhere.

There is also 3rd party firmware available for most of the linksys stuff. Only one I can think of is "HyperWap". I had to do a little bit of searching on the web to find the firmware but it works great. It gives you the option to boost your antenna output and a few other things.

Some good stuff on this forum also.
