    Hey, I remember reading about this somewhere but it was for routers (and not for wireless adapters) so is there a way to boost my wireless adapters signal?

    Hey man you ca nmake a sort of satelite out of tin foil this works as I am using it.(Stil dosn't help in bad weather though) or you can just buy the signal booster search on google for your model wifi and after the model name type "Signal booster" keep searching and you will eventually fin something(if you use the tin foil thing make it strong enough to hold, use 2 sheets and stick it on some paper of carton)

    most wireless adaptors have internal aerials so you can't do that.

    I know exactly what you're talking about. I do wireless networking as part of my profession. It does not work with internal antennae.

    My wifi adapter is this with a actual antenna which I can possible add those boost signal things on.

    My profession is computer networking. Anything else is a hobby.

    2DamCerius My eyes for your brain...fair trade.

    Hmmm? Can't you mod a Wireless signal in order to increase its bandwidth, if you knew what you were doing of coarse?

    yes but you'd need modified hardware to do so.

    Somewhat irrelevant question to you: what is the difference between a gaming pc and a pc for video editing? Isn't they the same thing? When I mean PC for video editing, I mean not with a lot of editing periferals like a mixing board (which is sick), etc.

    gaming PCs have fewer cores but faster cores, low latency ram and fast hard disks. video editing PCs have lots of cores, lots of ram and lots of big hard disks.

    oh, so the real difference is that it video editing pcs have a lot of everything, okay.
