I'm looking for a DIY network adapter extender. A web page or one of your methods is good. By an extender I mean a stupid little aluminum foil thing that you put on the antenna. I'm not looking for a huge increase, but my position from the router is undesireable so anything will do. I currently have around 1250kbps down and 250kbps up, but the router gets almost 1.5 times that.
EDIT: I just moved my antenna to the top of my bookcase and got a 100kbps boost to up, so now I have a consistent 315kbps. How should the antenna be angled? Up, or pointing to the router?

If you have access to your plumbing, wiring up the antenna jack to some copper pipes give you great wireless signals for a very large area.
 
Nope, no pipe access whatsoever. My bathroom (nearest plumbing) is about 50ft away. I don't want to have to hide a cable that far. Besides, I doubt I could get permission.
 
Not range-speed. Are those the same? But anything better then what I already have, which is a red bar in xbox live.
