[OT] Wireless Distance in Apartment

[Don Moskaluk]

Move the PS3 away from the TV.  If you are using old style tude it has a
large electrical field and will interfere with the signal.

I got a 7 dbi antenna.
I tried channel 11, and also auto select
Super G mode disabled
extended range disabled
G only mode disabled

Moved the router and away from everything. Put the antenna up higher.

Still the PS3 can't get a useful signal

I think I need to run wire through one wall and connect the old SMC 
router there.
