Woosh with directional antenna

Hello all,

Newbie here so play nice.

I've recently go onto Woosh and one of their 3G Wireless modems. Problem is that it only gets decent coverage in the eastern end of my flat and all my IT gear is in the western end. I have a Woosh antenna on the eastern window and this connects via a small wire to the Modem. The modem connects to the PC via Cat-5 and PPPOE or USB.

The way I see it I have 3 options:
1. Run Cat-5 down the length of my flat - ugly.
2. Buy Wi-fi access point and cards - expensive.
3. Set up a directional antenna from the antenna on the eastern window to the modem sitting in the western end - ?

option 3 would be ideal however I don't know where to start. Should I just buy a can of pringles, ingest some cholesterol and use the greasy can or is there a better (ie. cleaner) way?

Any ideas?

Try contacting woosh, they have aerials that may help you, although if there's no signal, then i guess there's no signal, you may have to try another option.

I had one of their network contractors out yesterday. His suggestion was cat5. I already have a woosh antenna stuck to the window and it gets 100% (all 4 lights on modem). I can't see why I can't redirect this antenna to focus down the length of my flat to the modem at the other end.

Sound feasible?

Instead of treating the 4 leds as 100% signal strength, try going to the dialer program when using the modem in usb mode and hold the mouse over the antenna - will not work when connected to the internet so click disconnect first.
I can have 34% signal strength and still have the modem show all 4 leds

Can't you put the cable under the flat or over the roof or hide it in the skirting or some such?
