Signal Antennas?
Well I bought an 8.ta modem last week because I found out I have 8.ta 3G coverage and it has only been running on MTN network, i then found out that I only have 3G coverage 2m outside my house door and I was wondering if there isn't a Signal antenna or something of the sort that I can use to get it all the way into my room (Where my pc is located)
I'm also having this issue (outside my room though)... I'm going to try using a usb extension cable for my usb modem and I'll place it where I get the best reception... Maybe you should try this as well (I'll update if I get results).Originally Posted by PorkChop
PS: Update the thread if you try it...

Yeah I had the same questions a few days ago since i wont be having ADSL at my new home, So i did some searching.Also teasted the increasing the USB length and placing it somewhere closer to reception, did improve a little, however its best to have it outside due to the amount of EMI in your house cause signal bouncing.
Dont know if this is going to sort your issue out, but maybe give them a shout and ask if you can return it if it doesnt work.

Believe it or not, use a strainer. Cut a hole in the center of the strainer to hold the usb stick, slap it in and then with a usb extension hang it by the window.
Went from 21% signal strength to low 90%.
Will post a picture of mine tonight
