Increase wifi adaptors range.

I have the Belkin N1 wireless USB adaptor. Does anyone know ways to increase its power/range? Any additional devices that would help or tips for optimising its effectiveness?

Any help appreciated.

Well, I'm assuming that you are talking about the Belkin N1 Adapter in the link? The specs state a 1400 ft. range, so just curious what connection distances you are trying to negotiate? I would think that a home router would not be a problem - not sure that the sensitivity of the adapter can be adjusted but you'll have to check the manuals & the Belkin website. Of course, a 'stronger' wireless signal would provide a solution but that would be from the source an/or require the addition of an intervening 'wireless' repeater or range expander.

Well, hope others may be able to help - good luck.
