There are a couple of universities nearby home with wi-fi access, but can only use the service if I am closer. Is there an antenna one can hook up to my PC ??

there are wireless cards out there that have much greater range, but you'll pay a couple hundred for them...
I'd just buy a linksys wap and a bigger antenna for it. Should only cost you $100 or so... Then you can put it in bridge mode and attach your entire network to their access point [img]smile.gif[/img]
just jam a coat hanger into the side of you PC...that should work

so is this what makes it so you can get online anywhere? if so whats the monthly cost on something like that
or just get a wireless router and let other people with wireless capacbilities use your stuff for free! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">a pringles can? Doesn't work that great when you're mobile... You've talking about these, and it's still around $80 a month i think, plus you gotta spend a couple hundred on the card...Quote:

only reason i have it is cuz work's paying for it...
So.....where are the specs for the chips can ? I want to know if I can grab the signals at home.
Or maybe I need a BIG garbage can [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I'd love to just be able to take the internet on my lap top anywhere I go. dont just want to be at home to use it. I want it every where! hope it becomes more available and less expensive soon
