Best Buy sells them. They are like a miniature satellite dish that beams the signal. I have never tried one but I hear they work well.

Mostly I think that you will need the proper antenna.  Ask yourself a few questions \n\n1 do I neeed to cover a large area ?\n\n2 do I just need to stretch point to point between two routers/computers\n\nif question 1 is yes, you are going to need professional help\n\nif question 2 is yes all you need is a yaggi (sometimes called a cantenna) antenna.  You simply replace antennas and  aim them at eachother.  Simple

If you do not move around much, and the AP does not need to provide service to a wider arc, I recommend a directional antennae.\n\nyou may find this website helpful:\n\nhttp://www.cantenna.com

you need a tv tuner card, if you dont have one install one or you can get an external card that allows you to have the computer recieve satellite signal.   heres a good link on the explanation of the external tv tuner:  http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/external-pc-tv-theor/index.html

If you have a wireless phone, with the battery out the base is still sending a signal.  Is it 2.4MHz?  Is this PC whether a laptop desktop; is it using a wifeless connection via wireless router to the dsl modulator?  If so each time you power off the router and wireless receiver in the PC will reset to find the clearest signal; then ask is this what you want.  If the range of your system is very far, you may be interfering with your neighbors' devices also.  Again if this is the case, call your dsl tech support, they have some tools to determine issues; if not the will provide you with the information you need(company name ,machine name I.P. address etc.) for the router technician to finish the fix.  Before you call run all virus, spyware and addware cleaning programs  and reboot the entire system pc, dsl unit router for 15 seconds.  that alone may clear it.  It is not ruined; do not sell it for 10$.

if you've already got the wireless network set up, I believe Network Magic, which is a program made for this you can link everything together, and monitor the network. Or you can get a wireless printer adapter.

You need to have a reciever on both. Then set it up on the computer from there.

You need a wireless card.  If you have a card, it should pick up signals from the hotspots.  If you live in the South, Krystal restuarants have started offering free wireless internet, but I can't see me with a laptop in Krystal (White Castle of the South).

Get a VOIP router! and then hook that up with your phone line's main console...which might be outside the house!

If you're not getting strong enough signal to your Wireless USB you might want to look into a 802.11g Range Extender. Because it's a powered unit it has the power to pull signal in from further distances and then repeats it out to the area around it.\nI have one and it works like a charm for extending my network. I've given you links below for the types of devices I'm talking about. You can pick them up at CompUSA stores here in the states and at other stores locally. They run between $80 and $100 USD
