I've been wanting to do that. Already have a yagi, just need an adaptor, which is hard to find and "special" so they can charge 3 times as much as normal.

[quote="dmeyer07"]how much did that cost ya[/quote]
$60 a little over a year ago.

802.11g -- applies to wireless LANs and provides 20+ Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band is what i have

54 mbs is what it says...

i d/l @ home around 300+ kbs and sometimes in excess of 2,000 kbs...

2.4 ghz

i thought g was the fastest???

I would first check out the frequency level your wireless card works at.
which 802.11 designation is your need?

[b]802.11g[/b] -- applies to wireless LANs and provides 20+ Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band

[b]802.11b[/b] (also referred to as 802.11 High Rate or Wi-Fi) -- an extension to 802.11 that applies to wireless LANS and provides 11 Mbps transmission in the 2.4 GHz band.

[b]802.11a[/b] -- an extension to 802.11 that applies to wireless LANs and provides up to 54 Mbps in the 5GHz band.

[b]802.11[/b] -- applies to wireless LANs and provides 1 or 2 Mbps transmission in the 2.4 GHz

I am believing that you are probably using 802.11g with your centrino laptop. but that would just be my guess.

EDITED:N/A

Thanks for the relpies guys!

So i decided i'll settle on a repeater at first. If i can't get that to work then i'll go for a larger antenna wireless card,etc...

Any recomendations on good reapeaters?

And how would something along the lines of this work:

options are either a relay, whioch you said you don't want, or go build yourself a yagi directional antenna for the notebook.. which requires a bit of work, and may or may not help.

otherwise forget it. you're not going to do much, since most wireless has a range of 150' peak anyway and that's without going through steel walls at high frequency.
