Wireless Signal Boosters
Hello.
I have an Inspiron 8600 with a TrueMobile 2300 router and TrueMobile 1400 Dual Band WLAN Mini-PCI Card. The lap top is used about 50 to 60 feet from the router.
Normally, the signal strength is "very low" and I have recently been getting dropped more frequently. It seems that the dropped signals has increased somewhat since I installed Service Pack 2. I have tried changing channels to no avail.
Any suggestions (other than moving closer to the router lol ) ?
Has anyone had any experience with a signal booster with the TrueMobile?
I'm looking forward to you replies and help. Thank You.

Either get an amplifier, or just get an external antenna for the TrueMobile card. If I recall, that's a PCMCIA card OEM'd by Dell with an external antenna jack. If so, go to: fabcorp.com and have them price out the equipment.unknown webcraw

hello:Or you can try updating your firmware and any other updates that are required for your computer. This usually works.
