How to Improve Wireless Modem Performance
Let's close out 2009 not with a discussion of servers or operating systems, but with a nifty little hack that mobile users should find helpful--especially during holiday weeks like this one when they're working from home. In this video, a user shows how placing his USB broadband modem into an ordinary cooking pot--yes, cooking pot--can vastly improve wireless connectivity. Take a look: Neat, huh? Needless to say, you might need a USB extension cable if you typically plug your modem directly into your laptop or netbook, but that's a $3.50 item from online stores like Meritline. Well, that's it for us this year. Have a safe and happy holiday, and we'll see you back here in 2010. In the meantime, let us know if you'd like to see more mobility tips like this one. |
