54Mb 11g Wireless Antenna

[dragon2309]

Anyone know where i can get an antenna, just an antenna, not a wireless card, i just need an antenna. All i can find anywhere is people selling actual cards with antennas, i only want the antenna, similarly if anyone here in the UK is selling one please let me know, i can bay by paypal/cheque.

Cheers, dragon

sorry, i should have clarified, i need the kind that have a long lead, say 1 meter or so.... kind of like this

that was just got from google image search. but that is the right type that you linked to.

The thing is i recently hd a shift around in the house and my signal strength has been shattered. Connection drops out every 15 mins or so, or whne i move my chair into the doorway, lol. so i figure instead of having a crappy 2 inch antenna behind my pc amongst shed loads of cables, i would get one on a longer bale so i could position it somewhere where it gets good signal.

Cheers, dragon

well if you do find it let me know

Recently changed ISP, strange but the signal aint as good even though i replaced the shitty old wireless usb adaptor with a brand new netgear PCI one.....might have need for a wired antenna meself

i expect it would but i havent got a job at the moment, so i went the budget way, took me about 15 minutes, got an old metal coat hanger, cut it up into 2 x 1 foot long sections and attatched them both the the existing aeial at the back, they protude up and around the corner of my PC, thus giving them a clear passage into open air (where i presume there is still a good signal take a look at the signal strength....

and there was me thinking i would have to save up £25 for a fancy aerial like that one you posted up there........ ive got some pics, but they are on my phone, dad ran off witht he camera last week. if i get a mo to install the phone drivers i will upload the pics and show you...
