    But what if you have a house with two floors? And you have all the wireless gear set up on the upper floor
    if your in the basement - will such a thing as a repeater placed downstairs help?
    or should you place the wireless gear...between floors?

    100%, i hope you don't mind me answering the PM in here.

    you could try messing about with a colander. i've found the best way to work out the focal point (provided the surface is reflective) is to just move your finger towards the middle to find the most powerful focal point, or you could use maffs to find half the radius. i've never had any noticable results doing this though, not had a proper test.


    another way, which most definately does work, is a cantenna. i made one with two sweetcorn tins, a tuna tin and some various other crap.
