PC World has some help for those of us suffering from some WiFi connection problems at home. Their article Beating the Wireless Blues goes through some tips including Banishing Wi-Fi Black Holes, Extending Your Network's Limits, Solve Network Problems That Cross Property Lines and more!
They even touch on the "Cantenna" concept which I've always found intriguing but never implemented. "In its tests, the Wi-Fi Alliance determined that your PC's wireless card can talk to a gateway that's situated 40 to 60 feet away within a home, and 60 to 80 feet away in an office. That range is smaller than the theoretical 150-foot radius promised by some Wi-Fi manufacturers.
You can't do much about the main problem--interference that is caused by interior walls, floors, or even those walking bags of signal-absorbing water we call human beings. But the antennas on your gateway can cause trouble, too. Even the best antenna can't radiate a perfect sphere of signal strength. "
Any tricks you've used to extend, stabilize or otherwise improve your own home WiFi connections?
