enlarging the antenna

[zoran]

There are sometimes when im connected via wifi but due to the long distance from the router there is no adequate signal. From the same distance i have no issue with my macbook. I suppose that the problem is the small antenna on the iPhone compared with the one on the macbook.
Is there a way to enlarge the antenna on the iPhone so i can solve such issues?

It can very well be different hardware that is in play as well.

For little cost you can buy a WiFi extender. I used to not recommend these devices but they have improved. My house is 5500 sf and I installed two of these extenders and they give my full bars WIFi all the way out to the dock.

The wifi I need to get I contact with is not mine but a remote neighbor's

Does your neighbor know?

Sounds like the neighbor needs a new password......

My neighbor had been using mine for years until I had Comcast come in and install the XFinity. I did not find out until another neighbor talked to him and he complained about having to pay for his own service.

I would send him retroactive bill for part of your wifi you paid for him. That would be such a welcome April 1st letter

Of course he knows, I've talked about this issue with him and he agrees to give me access. The reason is because its just not worth signing a yearly contract for internet access and use it for 1-2weeks maximum.
