Wireless Internet Booster

Distance between your computer and the outdoor access point may also require the use of a wireless booster. If you are between 200 to 500 feet from the neighborhood access point, a high powerless booster will be of great benefit to you, especially if you are accessing the wireless service from indoors.

If your computer or notebook doesn't have a wireless network adapter, then it's recommended to get a high power wireless booster for the better access experience.

Various wireless internet boosters can be found online and at leading retailers. There are websites that offer both sales, support and installation, and you will easily find a cheap wireless booster.

How to Setup a Wireless Internet Booster

For the best reception it's recommended to place the wireless booster near a window facing the access point. If you still cannot connect at optimal rates, then the outdoor solution may be the best.

If a wireless laptop is being used to connect to wireless internet service, remember to disable the internal wireless card on the laptop when the wireless booster is used. The internal laptop wireless card and the wireless Internet booster will compete to establish a connection. By disabling the internal wireless card you allow the wireless booster to establish the connection.

You should also keep in mind that the wireless internet booster won't increase the internal wireless card signal. The wireless booster replaces the internal wireless card with more sensitivity and connection power to the access point.

Please also keep in mind that the wireless modem will not increase the internal wireless card signal. The wireless modem replaces the internal wireless card with more sensitivity and connection power to the access point.
