    I just bought a DLink 802.11g wireless adapter but I still can't get good reception from the wireless network in my complex. Some background, we have a centralized broadcaster for an entire apartment complex but it is very far from my unit. Is there anyway to get an antenna or booster for my adapter so I can pick up a signal from far away? Would MIMO work in this situation or does that only connect to the router?
