Something is wrong with that person then...I used to build and install
networks for the SOHO market in the Los Angeles area (Manhattan Beach) and
the houses get very large there. I have found that if there is any concrete
or steel between the wireless access point and the client computer, then I
don't care what kind of a booster you have, you won't get a
signal....bathrooms, kitchens and laundry rooms are the worst...fire places
and the computer case itself too shields the signal. I have found that I
got on average twice the range with that booster...I have installed about 20
of them in all. There is another company that makes antennas...I don't
recall the retailer right now...but I have installed that booster and a
directional antenna and my customer got to use his laptop half way down the
beach with my installation...what a life!
