I`m creating a new topic as my original post has no reply option--"How to Increase Your Wi-Fi Signal Strength with an Aluminium foil." I found this in google and did what he says and my signal strength has improved to good and very good. Have a look at the video clip. It looks like i don`t have to buy a wireless repeater. It has saved me a lot of money. The signal has to go through two walls and about 30 feet to my computer. Grin

 Have a look at this site too--"Boost Your Wireless Signal With a Homemade Wifi Extender".(Video clip). Aluminium foil glued on a template is all that`s needed. (repeater not required). I suppose a template could be made of cardboard or metal what do you think?? I probably mislead Joey regarding a 'repeater". Have a look at Lifehacker.com. (attached). Grin
