WiFi Tips

1. Disable your internal WiFi Antenna:

Laptop Users: There should be a button of switch

that disables the internal WiFi antenna

Windows XP: Access “Network Connections” from

the “Control Panel”, then right click on the “Wireless

Connection” icon and choose “Disable”.

Window Vista: From the Start menu right-click on

“Network” and choose “Properties”. From the sidebar

click “Manage Network Connections”. Right-click on

the “Wireless Connection” icon and choose “Dis-

able”.

Mac Users: From the desktop click the wireless icon

found at the top of the screen and choose “Turn

Airport Off”.

2. Receiving an outside signal in a building:

For best performance place the Super USB WiFi

Antenna oriented vertically in the center of a window

that is facing the WiFi source. Obstructions between

the source of the WiFi signal and the antenna will

greatly reduce the effective WiFi range.

3. Receiving an inside signal from within the same

building:

If the WiFi source is located on the same floor, orient

the Super USB WiFi Antenna vertically. If the WiFi

source is located on a floor above or below, it may

be necessary to adjust the angle of the antenna to

receive in the direction of WiFi source.

4. Weatherproofing the Super USB WiFi Antenna:

It is possible to weatherproof the Super USB WiFi

Antenna using some inexpensive and commonly

found parts. For more information, see the web at:

5. Stabilize a weak signal when using Windows XP:

Positioned the Super USB WiFi Antenna vertically in

the center of the window, if the WiFi source is out-

side your location. If you are using Windows XP,

select “More Settings” then select change and adjust

the “TX Rate” to 1 Mbps or 5 Mbps. Doing this will

increase that stability and usability of the WiFi signal

while still supplying enough speed for browsing the

internet and streaming media.
