I want to extend the range of my wireless router. I called my ISP and they said it was a waste of time changing the aerials. I can’t see how this could be. Surely changing an aerial of 2-3 dbi for an aerial with 9, 10, or 12 dbi should increase range. Tell me I’m wrong.
Your wireless router should have been good enough for ANY household situation. You either must have a HUGE house, have a basement, or you must be giving your neighbors free wifi.
Yes, If your router has TNC connectors, you can add antennas with more gain, but MOST that you see advertised are SCAMS. As long as you buy a major brand name like buffalo, linksys or dlink you should be fine but again, your router has to have the connections and it isn’t going to make a night and day difference.
You can build your own “cantenna” for cheap (less than a buck), but those are HIGHLY directional so they are not good for most home use.
You can also hack the firmware of many routers to give you more gain. Look up ddwrt or tomato in google. They are relatively safe, but of course unsupported by the hardware mfgr so if you “brick your router” there is nothing you can do.
You should also consider adding an “access point”. You can buy G routers with “rangebooster” technology for under 50 bucks. For rangebooster to work, BOTH the router and the card must have the same technology. One of the favorites of geeks is the Linksys wrt54gl which can be had for about 20 bucks. Use ddwrt on that baby and you’re set!
You can replace your G router with an N router for under a hundred now.. Do NOT get an “el cheapo” brand router, get a good one.

Pair Gain $71.7 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles In telephony, pair gain is a method of transmitting multiple POTS signals over the twisted pairs traditionally used for a single traditional subscriber line in telephone systems. Pair gain has the effect of creating additional subscriber lines. This is typically used as an expedient way to solve subscriber line shortage problems by using existing wiring, instead of installing new wires from the central office to the customer premises. The term was invented in the middle 20th century by analogy with earlier use of gain to extend telephone local loops far from the telephone exchange.

Replay Gain $81.25 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Replay Gain is a proposed standard published by David Robinson in 2001 to normalize the perceived loudness of computer audio formats such as MP3 and Ogg Vorbis. It basically makes all of the songs the same volume. It works on a track/album basis, and is now supported in a growing number of media players. Although the standard is formally known as Replay Gain, it is also commonly known as ReplayGain or replaygain. It is sometimes abbreviated RG.

Coding Gain $109.93 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles In coding theory and related engineering problems, coding gain is the measure in the difference between the signal to noise ratio (SNR) levels between the uncoded system and coded system required to reach the same bit error rate (BER) levels when used with the error correcting code (ECC).If the uncoded BPSK system in AWGN environment has a Bit error rate (BER) of 10 2 at the SNR level 4dB, and the corresponding coded (e.g., BCH) system has the same BER at an SNR level of 2.5dB, then we say the coding gain = 4dB2.5dB = 1.5dB, due to the code used (in this case BCH).In the bandwidthlimited regime ( > 2b / 2D, i.e. the domain of nonbinary signaling), the effective coding gain eff(A) of a signal set A at a given target error rate Ps(E) is defined as the difference in dB between the SNRnorm required to achieve the target Ps(E) with A and the SNRnorm required to achieve the target Ps(E) with MPAM or (MxM)QAM (i.e. no coding).
