Default Hawking hi-gain antenna



I just bought a Hawking Technology 6-db hi-gain wireless -b/-g antenna from
Newegg:

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...164-133&depa=0

It solved all of my connection problems. It's amazing. No more disconnects.
No more wild signal strength fluctuations. I connected it to my WMP54G
internal wireless adapter, set the antenna on my desk, and my Linksys
wireless-g network connection has been running rock solid all evening.
That's the best $33 I've spent in a long time.

Or, you could have built your own patch antenna:

I'm not sure I like using galvanized sheet metal (high skin
resistance) or wood (hydroscopic) for a dielectric, but it apparently
works.

Another do it thyself patch antenna:
