If I get closer to it yes I can connect. My room is in one building, the bathrooms and showers are in a building infront of mine, and then there is another building with rooms.... when I walk into the other building near the end (towards the wireless spot) I get wireless

There are now USB ports that come with a little pedestal so you can stand the antenna upright and point it too. These are the new standard called 802.N ( instead of A, B, or G ) They have in some cases a 3x range. Around $50 online or maybe less at the PX ( what IS the AF term ,,,,BX? )
I'll watch this space for "next steps" Good Luck! |
I can ask our communications yet I dont think they will tell me anything about the routers, besides they dont want us to have wireless in our rooms. However, it's like 120 to 130 degrees here and 100% humidity... that and the sand always blowing everywhere I dont want to take my laptop outside.
If it was like Texas weather then I'd have no problem...
