I definitely agree that replacing an antenna is a good option, and I would actually recommend using an omnidirectional antenna or a directional antenna. Other than that, another helpful option is to set up a WiFi repeater that picks up a router’s WiFi signal and repeats it. I wrote about this and several other tips that can help you improve your WiFi network on my blog.

If you run 2 access points like we do here at chez Salustro, you should put them on different channels. But, don&#39;t pick consecutive channels, because unlike broadcast TV, Wi-Fi channels actually overlap. This would reduce your speed. Channels 1 and 11 would be a better choice.<br /><br />Also, most routers out of the box are configured for channel 6, so your neighbors probably already have it pretty well saturated. Thus, you may as well start with channels 1 or 11, since these are furthest apart from 6.<br /><br />Also, some Verizon routers have the ability to dynamically pick their own channel. A good technical idea, but poorly executed by the firmware, because when I tried it, the channel kept hopping randomly, and my laptops kept losing the signal. Best to stay configured on a fixed channel.Keith Salustrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06541345012929727968noreply@blogger.com
