Trying to find a way to boost my friends wireless connection
 |
My firends wireless connection is always low. I am trying to make it stronger, but I can't. He has a Netgear wg311 pci wireless card on his computer. Any suggestions?

Because both 802.11b and 802.11g devices operate in the same (2.4GHz) frequency range, their distance ranges are essentially the same; wireless G devices just have more bandwidth within that distance.
Dark_Omen,
Signal boosting is usually done on the router/access point side. What make and model of router/WAP is your friend using?

Also, another question:
Is the signal low when you're right next to the router, or does it vary with distance?
