[QUOTE="SweetCosmicPope, post: 1097264, member: 135923"] Sorry, if this isn't the right forum, but I didn't want to gum up the other forums, since this is an Ubuntu PC. Not a mac. Posted this in another forum, but nobody answered me. Got a wg311 v3 wireless nic for my Ubuntu tower. Got ndiswrapper and the driver all synced up and working. However, I can only get a max of 2 bars (39% is the best connection I've seen, with a low of 1%), and it fluctuates like crazy. Haven't lost a connection, yet. I was looking at ways to boost my reception in the house. It's a 2600 sq ft house and my router is on the far back opposite corner of the house, while my office is on the opposite side and near the front of the house on the top story. I see they have these antennae that plug into where the little short antenna (that sticks up in the back of the card) would go, but has a cable that extends to a taller antenna you can put on your desk or tower or whatever. Does anybody have any experience with these, and know if they're worth a crap? Any recommendations on a good one? [/QUOTE]
