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!

Jump to Postyou could get a stronger router or a repeater. For the laptop depending on the card you have there are antenna extenders.
Jump to PostDoes 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 …
Jump to PostIf 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?
