Hi
I have a Linksys WMP54G PCI Wireless card in my PC downstairs.
With my USB donble I managed to get a fairly decent connection - oddly with the PCI card and its big aerial I get a very poor reception. With the USB dongle its on a wire-extension so I can move it around about 70cm or so forward and it gets a better reception (altho its still far away from main router which is upstairs). but the PCI card aerial is obviously stuck in oen place.
Whatst he best way to test optimum aerial direction? or will ir pretty much be the same any direction?
and is it possible to buy a bigger aerial?
also my PC downstairs is a HTPC, next to the PCI cards aerial is astandard TV aerial - can this affect it?
