Increase router signal

I got a new dlink router. My wireless computer in the other room has about 30% signal. How can I increase it?

Hi,

I'm not sure where to locate the signal boost on the firmware, but I have a D-624 and I can change the antennas signal from 25%-100% signal, which really helped me. You may want to get into the web-interface of the router and search around until you can locate it. If you can't locate it then please post the model and firmware version of the router. You should also check dlinks homepage to see if you can find a manual.

Hawking Tech has a number of products that will help you increase your wireless range. The root page is Hawking Hi-Gain™ WiFi Range Extending Products.

Some of the more interesting products are this Hawking [HSB2] Hi-Gain WiFi Signal Booster, which can be used on either end of a wireless connection to boost the signal power.

Another way to increase your signal strength is by the use of hi-gain antennas. You can choose from omni-directional or directional models, here are a some examples.

Hawking [HAI7SIP] Hi-Gain 7dBi Omni-Directional Antenna

Hawking [HAI15SC] Hi-Gain 15dBi Corner Antenna

[HAO14SD] Outdoor Hi-Gain 14dBi Directional Antenna Kit

For really long range outdoor applications, this 24dB parabolic WiFi Antenna may be a good choice.

This is just a sample of available products, many people have hi-gain antennas with similar specifications, but I haven't seen any other suppliers of signal boosters.
