terrible signal reception

[poulti]

Hi everyone,

I've got a room in the house that seems to have terrible signal reception from my home's wireless router.

I a wireless usb network card to connect to the router. There's no antenna, so I pretty much just move the USB cord (around 3 feet) around to get the best signal.

Is there any way to increase reception on a USB adapter that doesn't have an antenna?

I don't care if it looks stupid, like wrapping the thing in foil, or whatever. It's not like anybody's going to see it.

Thanks

Hrm homemade solutions won't help you, at least not significantly, maybe a little more stable reception but nothing more, in most of cases you might end up with worse results than what you have now, mainly because doing things we have no ****** idea about ends up like this.
