WiFi matter:  Is there any chance to strenghten the Laptop's reception to reach  a better reception.?

Yes. You can buy a better wifi card. A repeater would work too. What that person meant was there is hardware equimpent you can buy that you hook up, similar to a router. It will allow you to strengthen the signal that is recieved and then 'repeat' it. This will in effect strengthen the signal around the repeater. However, this soulution has its limitations. Your best bet is to buy a better wifi card for the laptop. If that doesnt work. I would ALSO buy a repeater to help things. You would for sure have a better connection then.

Dear it may be. You can try Wi-Fi Networking.\nYou can set Sector antenna and use WAN card in your lap-top to access your network.\n                                                    Thank You

Your question is a bit obscure, but I'll have at it. \n\n=====\nWireless \n\nI'm presuming your laptop does not have WiFi builtin. It can be connected to the Internet through an Ethernet port or a USB port or ... if you have the right equipment. For instance, you can buy a USN WiFi adapter (most look a good bit like a thumb drive) whcih will connect to any access point it can reach. If it's not access protected, this might be enouhg. \n\nOr you can use Ethernet to connect to a WiFi radio, use that to connect to an Access Point and proceed. \n\nin either case, there will be issues about configuring your system for a network connection on USB or Ethernet. Usually, the installation utility for the USB WiFi adapter or the Ethernet adapter, should do this for you, especially if you're using Windows as it's the most popular opeating system by far. If you're using Linux or one of the Mac operating systems, your harware maker might not support Linux. And it's possible the Linux mavens haven't yet gotten around to reverse engineering that particular piece of hardware and making a Linux driver for it. \n\n\nNow let's consider the case of a wireless router. Your laptop connects to it via Ethernet cable. Assume that's a good connection. your next question will be how to connect to a WiFi network within reach. Will it work?\n\n802.11 a/b/g/n all allow several kinds of connections. The client mode can connect to an access point, an access point can connect to several clients (typically 3 or 4, except for odd antenna arrangements), or one client can connect to one other client. \n\nIf your router is set up as an 'access point', it can only connect (except in rare cases) to a client, and can't ask the client to connect. If your router is set to 'client mode', it can ask any reachable access point to allow a connection. Access points broadcast beason signals telling clients who and what they are (unless the beason is defeated in some security modes, in which case the client wanting to connect must know the access point's information). \n\n=====\nDSL\n\nIf your laptop is connected to the router via Ethernet, and the DSL adapter is connected to the router via Ethernet, and both connections are suited to the ports (speed, duplex, crossover/no crossover, ...), you are likely to have success. You will probably have to know the IP addresses of the devices, and properly configure them, but that should be enough. \n\nThe router should have a way to defeat the wireless radio in it, as you may not want others to connect to the Internet via the router. Check the router documentatin for its control interface where this sort of thing should be covered.\n\nIf you want to use the router to provide a wireless connection to the Ethernet connected to the Internet (via  DSL), you should need only to make sure the router is in access point mode, and the radio enabled. If you don't require encryption for connecting clients, anyone who can hear the router's wireless beason breadcast should be able to use the DSL Internet connection.\n\nBut, there is considerable variation in the configuration methods and flexibility between routers from various vendors. You should certainly read the manual(s) and check the vendors' Web sites for additional material.

Without any specific detail, it's hard to give a usual answer. But I would suggest:\n\n1) Go to the website of the manufacturer of your laptop to look up any related information.\n2) First and foremost, make sure if the WLAN adapter on your laptop is enabled or not. Some laptops have a button to turn on/off WLAN. Also, go to Device Management (type "devmgmt.msc" in Run dialog box) and see if the WLAN adapter is enabled.\n3) Go to Start -> Settings -> Network Connections to verify if there is an existing connection configured to use the WLAN adapter.\n4) Also check the wireless router/gateway in your home/office that you want to connect to. Is the signal strong? Is your laptop's WLAN adapter granted access to it?\n\nSorry if I cannot be more specific. Hope this helps!

Since I don't know what you're using, please copy the words below and paste them into your browser.\n\nhow to extend the range of wireless  reception
13613
yes you can do that as long as the frequency is 802.11 b or g. almost all new laptops also have built in wireless and should pick up on your router

No, this is not true at all. I am currently using a laptop. Now, if you are connecting to internet via phone line yes it is just as slow as any other kind of computer. You will need DSL or something for faster access. Also may I suggest a wireless router. This way you can receive signal within like a 350ft radius without having any wires actually hooked to your laptop.

Numerous ways to get extended wireless range and covereage. \n\nFor example: \n\n1) Antennas - these increase gain dB, patch antenna at both ends may suit. Look around some dedicated wifi sites. \n2) Increase transmit power on send and receive end - either via firmware upgrade or use a "booster" (believe Hawking provide a cheap booster). \n3) Use a repeater - generally this is best done with kit from the same manufacturer using WDS.  If WDS/repeater function not available then consider another WAP to push on the signal under another SSID.  For example locate a WiFi/Ethernet bridge (or use powerline networking) in an area with signal to feed the WiFi as ethernet to a new WAP then broadcast that as a different WiFi signal (different channel) to the hard to reach area. \n4) Use a range extender (I know Linksys produce one but not sure if generic applicability)\n5) Powerline (similar to the repeater issues mentioned) - simply push the internet signal out over your power mains electricity network, if you still want the freedom of WiFi in the hard to reach areas and don't want to be tethered to a power point there simply rig up a small new WAP in that area (perhaps one of the little travel WAP routers that are now popular) - that should do the trick.\n6) Make sure you have tuned all the settings on your existing WAP, try changing channel, different threshol rate etc., (do a web search for best config details), maybe transmit for G devices only, etc., \n7) Get a better WAP/Router with better signal coverage, consider something like Linksys WRT54GS that can take third party firmware for power adjustments.  Or one of the new MiMo products (eg. Belkin) should easily do the trick. \n\n+ permutations on all the above. \n\nHope that helps.

Yes, there are several ways to configure this.  The easiest may be a wireless router with a wireless card in the computer furthest way from the connection.  But unless you want to patch it together, you will need some kind of router.  They're pretty cheap now and easy to work with.

First off, is his router wireless? if its cross house I hope its a dual antenna and possibly needing a booster antenna. Then you need to use your laptops wireless software to search for available wireless networks. Then see if his network pops up and try to connect, it may ask for information(wep numbers and whatnot) that only your neighbor can get through his router setup software.\n\nif the network does not appear on your laptop that means the connection is not strong enough and you need a better router or the antenna kit for larger distances.

The laptop is probably not as fast a setup as the desktop. Memory, hard drive, etc., are probably limiting the internet speed.

You should open up the mini-pci compartment and see if there are antenna cables there--some laptops have them preinstalled. Otherwise, you'll probably have to stick with your PCMCIA card, because there aren't mini-pci wireless cards that don't need antennas as far as I know.

with your wireless "card" should come a software with that. you could try looking at start>programs> and try to look for your wireless card or adaptor folder there and then open the wireless client utility from there. when you open it, you should be able to see the "enable radio" option on the general or status tab.

pcmcia would work better than usb.  get one with an external antenna and make a new one http://www.turnpoint.net/wireless/cantennahowto.html\ncantennas have crazy range.  something i would try first though is get yourself a set of high gain antennas for your router, that may give you the boost you need, or get a repeater, that will take the wireless signal and boost it to get better range.  another thing you can try is change the wireless channel, it may be getting interference from a nearby access point or cordless phone or even wireless mouse, just play around with the settings and see what you can figure out.
