Haha yeah, back when I was living on your shore I could tell when there's a bus passing on my street just by checking the available wifi networks on my computer, and the signal was kinda strong I could connect long enough to get past the connect screen

But yeah, I dunno if it's really true but there's ways to boost your antenna by putting a can around it, or tinfoil. Would make sense as you would increase the length of the antenna this way.

You can increase range with a pair of dish antennas

Only if you like being behind a desk in one room anytime you use the computer cause my desktop is directly connected to my router via Ethernet cable.

u/p2 October 30, 2016, 09:47:51 PM

It's still gonna be a lot faster, evne using Wifi ^^
Also... why dont you have a little switch and long ethernet cables, one for every room...?

I wonder if there is a speed test site that doesn't require downloading and uploading a very large file (basically, a site where a smaller file is downloaded/uploaded instead)? I am curious about how my mobile data connection is from home

(it seems faster, but when away from home it tends to cut off more often)

u/p2 December 20, 2016, 09:38:04 AM

they usually ue files as big as possible so they can have as accurate results as possible...
acuracy of the result goes down with file size of the test file... :/
