How to increase signal strength
Belkin, the worst router on the market. is a pice of junk !
You may be able to get an external antenna for it; check where the existing antenna connects to see if it can be removed. If not, raising the elevation of the access point will help. Also, be sure to place the access point away from thick walls or metal.
If nothing else works for you, just take an aluminum can, cut off the top and bottom, flare out the sides of the can into a parabolic reflector and place to close to your antenna behind where your laptop is located. It will be directional and you'll have to have someone watch the signal strength meter of the device (laptop?) to see how much of a change is being made (if any). Do bear in mind that any increase in range in one direction means a decrease of range in other directions. Good luck and good experimenting!
