If it's only temporary, I would just get a 50 foot Ethernet cable. Or w/e length you need. Run it across the floor.

thanks but its only a very temporary living situation. just another 3 weeks and wondering about easy fixes without spending any more money

i put the comcast gateway into bridge mode and an running the old router. linksys e1000 router.

i just downloaded the network stumbler but it says no wireless adapters found.... lol

im using a usb wifi adapter


edit: looks like my usb adapter isnt supported with netstumbler... lawl

any other software :mellow:


Google the wifi windsurfer. It is a cut and paste parabola which can help add a few dbi of gain to your omni directional stock antennas. It may or may not help a bit.

Here found it for you: http://www.freeantennas.com/projects/template2/

Also make sure your antennas are up and down, not sideways. Horizontal polarization can decrease performance if all your other devices are not horizontally polarized.

i own a 50 ft ethernet cable. but the distance from router is around 75 ft. and well there someone living in house who is over 90 years old with a walker.

i can just let the cable lay along the floor. and it would be a very tough job to run a cord from the modem along the walls/ceiling to the room im in.

it just wont work. not worth the effort for just a few weeks

sorry i didnt mention in this thread.

but i had to return the arris surfboard modem and the other router i purchased. because this house needs home phone. and with comcast you need to use their modems that have stupid telephone support. so basically im just using their gateway. but i did disable their router portion and am using my very old linksys e1000 router bridged.

but this router has no external antenna

Why the fuck would you return the router.

The modem they supply can be configured as a bridge and pass off all networking to your router you would have still owned, without effecting the telephone system.

Should of just returned the modem because litterally you're using the worse piece of shit and you are asking us to polish it into a gem stone.

It's not going to fucking happen.

Go buy a WAP and plug it into the back of what ever piece of crap you have now.

im using my linksys e1000 router

i returned the other router that i bought along with the other modem

so i do still have an external router.

i was just saying that the other router had 3 external antenna, but my old router, which i bridged, has no external antenna, so i dont think i can use that template u suggested?
