anyone know where to buy external antenna for usb modem like any of the samples below?or a rg178 cable that has crc9 connector on one end and a wifi antenna connector on the other?

I bought a omni directional 10DBi one at tukom in Pattaya about two weeks ago, cost was 990 baht.

This was used as an extended antenna on a WiFi setup that was struggling to recieve a signal.

I have never used them, but you ight want to try and contact these people

how about in bangkok?

Easy to find in Fortune Town or Panthip.

Yes, you should be able to find that connector setup at Pantip. Or, get it made there. I'm always surprised at the custom work those shops can do.

But, if not, a suggestion for temporary increase in reception. (There are many examples of this around the internet.)

Just Goggle usb homemade antenna strainer

And, click the first one for the example.

In my travels, I've used a kitchen strainer like this (bought at a local market) with a USB wireless (thumb-type) card to get wireless signal that my onboard laptop card was struggling with. Just use a USB extension cable (one meter) and tape the USB to the handle of the strainer.

Not rocket science really, but a little bit of fun, ....... and it actually works.
