Our radio doesn't work inside our home but it does work when we go a bit far from our area. why?

Nearby geographical (or other) blockage may be obstructing the radio signal. Things that could block signal are (but not limited to): mountains, hills, trees, houses, walls, etc. Hope this helps. (If it's just one station it may just be distance from the broadcast location.)\n-www.memeluke.tk

run a splicer from the box outside to the phone router. If they are on the same line, the signal gets weakened.We had the same problem and giving them each thier own dedicated line fixed the issue

Try a FM Booster attached to the radio - I could never get a signal in my basement (It's a game room with pool table, darts, etc...So NEEDED tunes!), then hooked up a FM booster that I got at Radio Shack and it worked great!

Yes, the radio is also going to be traveling at the speed of sound because it is in the car or whatever you are in. Therefore the radio is stationary relative to you, so it makes no difference how fast you are going. If you were going away from the radio you would not be able to hear it.

make sure there is no new interference, like stereo equipment, subwoofers, celphones, make sure your router and modem aren't near anything that can cause interference, go to pcpitstop.com and check your internet speed, see if it really slower and check and make sure the neighbors are not borrowing your bandwidth

Like many of the other posters, are you using DSL or dial-up.  I'm going to guess DSL because it interrupts the signal and you wouldn't be able to get phone calls at all if you were using dial-up.  So, if you are using DSL, you will need some DSL line filters (you can get them at RadioShack) and install them yourself.  If you do have them installed, as other people have pointed out it is possible one or more of them is bad.\n\nWhen the service cuts out, does your phone connection cut out?  If it does then you will have to contact the phone company and find out what is going on.  It is probably either the connection to your house, somewhere along the line or the service box but at least we have ruled out the equipment inside your house.

I would look for sources of interference such as cordless phones and microwaves.  Make sure there are no metal objects between the laptop and the access point.  Use NetStumbler to find out if you have neighbors with wireless.  It will tell you which channels are free.  Try to use 1, 6, or 11 if you can.  They are the only ones that don't overlap each other.\n\nI wouldn't mess with your antenna.  Higher gain does not mean better reception.  When you manipulate power and gain, you change the shape of the coverage.  In some special cases it could help but your AP is probably tuned correctly out of the box.

I would have to say try the broadband see if you get any reception which you should or if not you might need to purchase a radio with the international frequency ranger that should do the trick to local radio stations and try the e bay to purchase one of these babies

I'll say what everyone else is saying. Your library has a commercial wireless network system which has higher power transmitters. Your home network isn't designed for commercial use so they didn't make it with a very high power transmitter. If you want her to be able to pick it up from her house you can get a range extender which will give your wireless network a larger range. Make sure your wireless network is secure especially if you boost the range which will make it available to the neighborhood unless you secure it.

pcmcia would work better than usb.  get one with an external antenna and make a new one http://www.turnpoint.net/wireless/cantennahowto.html\ncantennas have crazy range.  something i would try first though is get yourself a set of high gain antennas for your router, that may give you the boost you need, or get a repeater, that will take the wireless signal and boost it to get better range.  another thing you can try is change the wireless channel, it may be getting interference from a nearby access point or cordless phone or even wireless mouse, just play around with the settings and see what you can figure out.

I'm guessing that you're using 802.11b/g?\nIf so, changing the channel on the wireless is a good idea, I'd try moving 3 or 4 channels from where you started.  Most likely, you've got another wireless device trying to use the same channel. (i.e. a wireless phone, or a neighbor's computer network).  Also, you can check for common sources of interference, like microwaves, florescent lights, metal walls in the way...  You're dealing with a radio, so if there's anything that would interfere with signal on a cell phone, or a remote control car, it might interfere with your wifi as well.\n\nIf that doesn't work, or you can't figure out how to change the channel, you can call the company that made the router, and talk to tech support.  That might just be an ordinary configuration error, and even if it's not, they might be able to help (Be polite, and patient, if they seem to be running through a lot of basic stuff, that's where most people make a small slipup).

If you do not move around much, and the AP does not need to provide service to a wider arc, I recommend a directional antennae.\n\nyou may find this website helpful:\n\nhttp://www.cantenna.com

It means your too far from the router.  You need to move closer to get a better wireless signal.

There are satelite internet providers, or those that use a cellular modem.  But you will not be able to connect to your WAP if it is at home and you are 50 miles away.  It will be extremely out of range.

may be the frequencies were set differently, or one device was defective (or both), or maybe a building was in the way, or the signal was weak (due to distance)

There must be a source of interference or the distance is too long, most wireless routers have a maximum distance for usage. Check your equipment manual, if you don't have it search it in the manufacturer's web site. It is possible that your equipment has a failure.

Your GPS antenna needs to be able to see the sky.  Try pointing it out a window.  Besides, you don't really need to know where you are at home, do you?
