hi all, sorry for my english
my laptop wifi performance is bad. compaq v2000 turion. i've got a big
flat but a small bank money. i'm not interested in upgrading my card -
it's very good- am not interested in reflectors or dishes or whatever i
see on internet. what i want to know and can't to find is
inter-computer hack to increase the range of signal. in other worlds,
is there some way to configure my card - or laptop - to pickup my weak
signal?? there must be "hack" to pickup my "distant" signal but i
haven't been able to find it in system data. the presario aren't
helping nor neither are the d-link peoples. so the question is, does
there exist any advice for changing the settings of a computer with
wifi card to pick up larger distance? thank you much

Without changing the antenna or moving the unit closer to the source there isn't alot you are going to be able to do. The problem here is the receiver sensetivity. This is something that you are not going to be able to change. You could replace your card with a unit that has a better receiver sensetivity, that is if you can even find one. The best and cheapest fix would be change the antenna to a higher gain, but this may not be possible depending on the card you have. Without being able to be flexable there maybe NOTHING anyone can do that help you.
