Re: [computer-tech-support: 7628] Re: WiFi Antenna. Wireless signal timing out.

About the campus you mentioned, i'd say they probably have several access points distributed around the place, that's how they get the signal to further places.
And about the N wireless, i didn't know how far it could go, but i hope they work out for you if you decide to try it out.

Well, unless your antennas are < 140 meters apart, and/or the cables
are
not matched to the antennas then that is your problem since you are
running a "G" network.
I would recommend upgrading to "N" (not only do you get a longer
range but you also get higher speeds - up to 3 times the speed).
But if not, search for
wireless n range extender repeater
and you can see that they are only $60 - $90

Also... Are you using the original Linksys firmware, or are you using
DD-WRT firmware (go to http://dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database
)?
The DD-WRT firmware will allow you to boost the output signal and
you can maybe start getting a good/constant signal.
