Was wondering when I use my Internet in the house on my laptop it does not get signal on the wireless can I get some kind of booster for the signal so I can get better signal in the bedroom or out on my patio?

When I am in my living room it is ok or anywhere on the Main floor it is ok

What type of router do you have ? What type of signal does your router transmit ?, B, G, or N ?

Technically speaking Wireless N routers can provide ranges higher than 10 times that of a Wireless G router and Wireless N routers have also been reported to provide speeds of up to 5 times that of Wireless G router.*

I have a Linksys (B&G), which has two antennas, which rotate and can be pointed in the direction I want a stronger signal. I have seen optional larger antennas that are available for certain types of routers

Try changing the location of the router within the house.

Extension telephone cables are easy to buy.

If the antenna is removable, the something like this may help.

I can move my signal booster a different angle and 3 inches in a different direction and my signal strength can go from 40% to 78%. lol

Do you have a laptop or a desktop.

These are the most common ones I find in Thailand. If you have a laptop, move around your house to find the best signal with this device. Make sure you refresh the wifi when doing this. Give it a couple of seconds to adjust to the area you're in. I stay in a condo and get wifi outside of the condo slow rip off.

I added a large antenna (sow a gaht (in thai)) for an extra 300 baht. It actually made a huge difference in picking up a good signal.

I wish internet in Thailand would be more accessible. These guys only want to fight about it when they are already making a ton of cash from it here. S Korea has amazingly fast internet for very cheap. When I was in Hong Kong you could get 100 mbs for $40 a month. TRULY 100 MBS. I did a speed test .

As described you could improve on the router (antenna e.g.) which is favourable.

On the other hand you can buy a high gain WIFI adapter.

I use this one (TP Link TL-WN722NC):

Costs under 1000 Baht in Thailand.

With an addtional antenna I am able to pickup the signal of an open network about 300m away.

With an external USB adapter like the one mentioned above you can move the thing around and experiment where it gets a better signal. It's sort of like non-cable TV where you have to fiddle with the antenna to get better reception.

This may help

I've just figured it out how to configure an antenna to get a better signal. Went to a Thai computer shop, but nobody knew how to do it.

I bought a " Tenda" USB antenna for 390 baht, using a 5 meter USB ( a longer cable doesn't work!) cable now and get high speed internet. The configuration seems to be difficult, you'll might have to disable your internal card that picks signals up.

If you've got a problem please page me and I'll let you know how it works. Cheers-
