vbrad511 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I've got a buddy that taps his wireless for his laptop from a neighbor's signal. The family has a desktop in their basement that will probably not get the signal, so is there a way to install some sort of booster, or another wireless router to recieve the signal and resend it? Should I just have him buy a wireless card with an external antenna on a cable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 he could try an upstairs wireless hub , but every connection to the neighbors system will slow him down and will also show up on his pc if he looks for it a good hub will pick up the signal and rebroadcast it to the other pc's on it's network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ofromda860 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 You mean giving the desktop the ability to pick up a wireless signal? I use a Netgear Wireless G USB 2.0 Adapter and it picks up my Htc's wi-fi signal. All you do is put in installation disc, follow instructions and plug in adapter to usb then search for the signal.
