Extend your wireless
People routinely ask me how to extend their wireless coverage. Often they want me to recommend what antenna or a bridge to buy. I don't know why, but I'm a fan of finding out how something works and taking advantage of that rather than buying something new.
Our townhome doesn't require me to do any expending, but one of the best things you can do is build your own antenna. Making it directional not only extends the range, but it also improves security, since it reduces coverage where you don't want it (you tell it where to go).
Keep in mind, wireless is never secure.
Anyway, check out this great site on how to build your own parabolic antenna: Parabolic Template.
It's the perfect way to spend an afternoon.
