[QUOTE="walkerj, post: 438242, member: 9385"] Hmm, what Mac are you using that gets atrocious reception? I'd venture a Powerbook or something else that is pre-intel because my Macbook has the best "signal grabbing" properties of any wireless-equipped computer I've ever used. It picks up signals from wireless networks that my Dell can barely detect and hangs on tenaciously. I suspect its a combination of whatever tech comprises the "Extreme" part of the Airport Extreme card and an antenna that's built into the screen, making it an excellent transmit/receiver. I was at a conference recently where I could get the hotel wireless in the conference room on my Mac, while people with Dells and even folks who had PPC Powerbooks had to venture out to the lobby to get a signal to read their email. So you may be stuck with whatever signal you have. [/QUOTE]
