    Hi guys, my girlfriend works in a pub B&B that has wifi for all its guests and her house is a couple hundred feet away and can get the signal in her bedroom but its weak and stop startish at time. Is there anyway she can improve the signal in receving it in her room?? With an antenna or something ?? Her employers know she is using there wifi and do not have a problem with this so could something be done from there either only problem would be i dont think she could be able to move the router closer toward her house.
    Cheers guys and help be great !!

    if the pub/b&b changed their router to a more powerful router with better antennas and gain on it then she wud prob get better signal, but i cant see them doing that so she can have free internet....

    Pointless if it's a couple of hundred feet away. A point to point link is the best way if she's willing to spend some cash to do it right

    the fact she wants free internet indicates she is not willing to spend anything...

    Would line of sight (out B&B window, to the OPs GFs window) be of any benefit?
