The SB6121 doesn't have WiFi, but I used a wifi extender (~$40-$80) to boost the wifi signal of my current wireless router that's attached to the SB6121.
Homemade Pringles antenna - Eat a packet of Pringles (ready salted would be my choice) then follow this tutorial to convert it into a functioning directional antenna. Point it where you need a signal boost.
Airport Express & kitchen sieve - Take an Airport Express and set it into a common metallic kitchen sieve to boost it's signal further.
Try a parabolic dish - Hawking make a 802.11 B/G parabolic dish
that basically pulls in a WiFi signal, performs some magic and boosts
your range by up to 300%! It only costs $80 and it has a cool retro
style.
Cantenna - This is basically a pro version of the Pringles tin hack. For $50 you can buy a Cantenna that plugs into your router and extends your WiFi signal. It also looks cool.
Also see this: The Wi-Fire uses a powerful directional antenna, highly sensitive
receiver and proprietary software to find and enhance normal WiFi
signals. With it, you can connect wirelessly to the Internet-even at low
signal strengths-faster, more reliably and with a more consistently
strong connection-than you are able to with an internal wireless
adapter.
The Wi-Fire draws very little power from your laptop battery. It
comes complete with everything you need to connect wirelessly to the
Internet. Just install the Wi-Fire Connection Manager, plug the Wi-Fire
into an available USB port and you're ready to start. It can rest on any
flat surface, laptop display or flat screen monitor.
your antenna can be seen at the bottom of the laptop. it looks like a battery of cellphone bit it has buttons for wire connections, actually it is called internal wireless card. there are many ways in boosting the wireless signal you can easily search how to boost wireless signal from youtube and you will see exaclty how it is done.
The only way to boost the signal is to upgrade the internal wireless card to a card with more range. Research the various Broadcom and Intel wireless cards and find one that meets the range you need. Most of the cards are interchangeable, so even though it may not have been offered for your machine, it will work, with the proper drivers.
built in wifi cards are very limited in range, get an external pc card
then you can get an antenna to connect to that if needed.
I use both and find the external card is best in reception.
you can connect an antenna to the internal card but you will have to leave the access panel open or make a hole in it.
It is also possible that you have set a security connection on your computer and the new router is not set to the same security settings. If they don't match, you will not connect...nor will anyone trying to 'steal' your signal.
