My uncle is currently in a VA hospital and looks to be there for many weeks. He has a wireless laptop,but can not get a signal strong enough to allow him to do anything. Is there any sort of signal booster we can get to help this? Thanks!

you could get a stronger router or a repeater. For the laptop depending on the card you have there are antenna extenders.

Does the wireless laptop use a Mini-PCI card for the WIFI adapter? If so, there might be an aux connector on the card, but then you would need a Hirose connector and an external antenna. I am suprosed they let WIFI lappys into the VA, they used to say that stuff interfered with the telemettry equipment they used there.

Boost wireless laptop incoming signal

I need to boost the incoming signal for my wireles laptop. Is there anything I ca do?

I know you can go to staples and buy a signal booster and it does work but after a couple of days I thinnk they blocked me. It cost 100 dollars and if you are the owner to the network then I would buy it but for me I live in a RV park and it got blocked after 3-4 days. If anyone else might have another way to do it let me know I have my wifi built into my computer and I get a weak signal and my wife has the same laptop and she can't get online.

If its a built in (a.k.a hidden) card it probably has a weak signal. Buying one of those PCMIA cards with the big fold out ariels might give you a better reception?

yup, it's either this, or an external USB wifi adapter on a long cable, so you can play with where you stick the actual adapter with the antenna. Help a lot here when I install wifi in bomb shelters (we have those in every house here)
