My comp is 20 feet from the router outside my door, wall is 1.5feet thick concrete. Current signal strength is 2 out of 5.

Im thinking this will do the trick? thoughts?

Is there any way to hard wire into it? cat6 can't be beat....

I dont think so, its a community (5 appartment shared router). I would have to run a cable over the railing through a wall under the landing carpet and under my door, under my carpet to the pc :(

think this bad boy would work?

[Witchdoctor]

Perhaps a signal booster teamed with this would be the answer .... ?

Not a network guy though TBH

yeah me neither witchie, maybe just a good quality one non chinese $5 pci adapter would help.

Before I got into all that, I would look into grabbing a good wireless router and running it as a repeater first. It will grab the weak signal, amplify it, and give it to you faster than you can now. I have found that usb network devices have limitations, or maybe they just "feel" slower.

Grab a good dual band draft N router, and look up how to set up a repeater. once that is done, you can then hook it to your pc via ethernet for the win.

awesome I have a router sitting in my closet without a use. Is it possible to do this without having admin rights to the original routing access point? they wont give me the username and pass so I can configure it :(

You shouldn't.... All you are doing is receiving the signal to your router, which then just amplifies the signal and passes it along. Is it a linksys router? I think setting those up are the best/easiest
