Will I get signal loss using a 10 foot wifi antenna extension cable? am I better off using a usb wifi + cable I have a wifi home network set up. two of the PCs (5 total) are getting poor reception. They are only 20 ft away from the router, but there is alot of interference from walls and such. the line of site for these gys are probably like 3-4 walls. I pull the router into a more direct line of site with the pcs and the two pcs to test it and the reults were better, but it is not a place I can normlly leave it. I am using a linksys 54G rev6 with high gain antennas I have thought of two solutions. buy extention cables for the adapter antennas (10') and move the antenna to the doors frams of the rooms. This would bring the antenna closer to the router, but I am think I will lose any gain in signal with the distance in the cable. the second idea is to buy a little usb wifi adaper and locate the actual adapter on the door frame using a 10' usb cable. Which would give me better results? The linksys i have does not allow the power to be tweaked with.
