I have a wireless Internet connection and am running Windows Vista
Home Premium edition on a HP Pavilion dv6500 notebook computer. I am
now at a summer location that has a number of cottages. My broadband
transmission connection is at one end of the group of cottages. I am
having problems getting connected via wireless at the furthest
locations from the wireless source. I have to physically move closer
to the transmitter/receiver and then after I make the connections am
able to move almost to the furthest cabin and continue to surf the
net.
Is there a way via something I can put externally on the notebook to
be able to boost the received signal into the computer. What are my
options? I do not see any connection for an external antenna on the
laptop. Is there something like a repeater that I could place half way
between the source at one end and the last cabin? The best solution is
if I could get some sort of PCMCIA card with an external antenna and
amplifier. Does such a card exist?
