Extending the range of wireless

[Kadama]

I was wondering if it's possible to extend the range of wireless, as my laptop is at my grandads who lives a few doors down from my home. Is there anything i can do to increase the range so im able to connect to the internet from my house?

Any help and suggestions would be appreciated, thanks

Why dont you get your own internet? :P

Only jokin

Not that i know of, is it even possible due to it being set as a certain range? just like bluetooth has a certain range.

if he got a better aerial i dont see why it shouldnt be possible. 2 houses i quite a range tho.

Ahhh like the wireless cards you can stick in a tower with the big aerial but bigger :O

They are big as they are!

Worth a try though and if it works then...cool lol

Build an OMNI directional attena and you will pick up from a mile away.

Or even put a boster between the router and arial and boost the range from the router.
