I need to boost my WiFi signal in my apartment. Even though I'm only 30 ft away (down a long hallway and around a corner), it keeps losing WiFi signal.
I am typing on my Note II, but I also have an S3 and two Galaxy Tab 10.1's (P7510) connected, all having the same issue.
My Router is a brand new Belkin N600 and it has both the 2.x & 5.x GHz Freq's, so the Booster/Extender would obviously need to as well.
Any recommendations, without getting too pricey?
Also, what's the best placement? The Router is in my livingroom, but I am always in my bedroom while using the devices.
Do I place the Booster/Extender in my bedroom with me?
Also, do they use a separate SSID? I saw a couple that are small little things that you plug into an outlet, but how would you even access them to set them up? Especially when my setup is Static and they're DHCP out of the box. I hate it when I have to switch my setup to add a new piece of hardware to my network!
Thanks!

Buy a repeater. You can buy one for i believe around 20dollars. Then plug that repeater along your hallway near your room.

Or buy a directional antenna for the router.
You can do with beer can
1.Remove ring

2.make cut as shown
Then like this
3. open up the middle piece of metal by bending it until it vaguely resembles the shape of a radar dish.
4.Place the completed Wi-Fi booster on your router. Place it so that the antenna pokes through the opening, and stick the base of the can to the router with a small piece of poster tack or other suitable adhesive. It's time to test how much your Wi-Fi is now boosted!

after dropping incredible 1, loose piece, help me find where it belongs!
you see the two pieces that were loose after my Incredible took a hard drop. It has taken many. I want to figure out where these pieces go, and if maybe something else is missing.
My upgrade date is soon, so please, no recommendations for getting a new whatever. I love my Incredible, its amazing it has survived so much wear and tear!
Whatever these are, they may be antenna related, as that is the function that doesnt...function. WiFi works, GPS, etc. just no cellular data connection. Any help is greatly appreciated. I've found a good youtube vid - Droid Incredible Disassembly by TechRestore and paused frames of it and looked back and forth, and just cant catch where these parts came from!
Many thanks in advance!

That looks like part of the USB jack. Don't know if you need it or not, but the USB plug may not fit tightly if it is not there.

Where did it drop? The guy above might be right, your metal is showing on the USB port. As for signal.. I haven't a clue, I suppose it could have been a hard enough knock to disconnect the signal?
Is the yellow plastic a scrap paper that came off the wires shown in the video, which by the way the video was actually pretty awesome.

Three words that stand out in that title; Cost-effective, sports & bluetooth. All things that I really want for a curricular activity. This set is made to resist moisture such as sweat and rain. It is not a bad option to look into if you are in the market for a bluetooth headset.
The fit was actually one my main concerns. In the past I tried the Motorola set that looks like this set and it was terribly uncomfortable. At the time I was working for a lawn care/ landscaping company as a Crew Leader and needed to be able to answer the phone at any given moment to speak with supervisors and the owner of the company. Before I ventured into the wireless headsets, I well, obviously was using wired sets and ended up tearing up too many to keep up with. Long story short I got tired of paying for new headsets because the number one issue was the wire getting in the way.
When I got a bluetooth headset it was like salvation. I was free! There were no more wires to get in the way, it was easy to wear and I got to listen to music all day long. This is where this headset can come in handy.
Life has changed a bit and I am no longer working for that company, but I do like to go jogging and again the wire was annoying at times. I love not having to worry about a wire. I look forward to using this set for future runs.

Picture is very cool you taken.:good:
Here's the issue I have a HTC Desire 526. It's prepaid through Verizon Wireless I'm having severe Wi-Fi issues. In order for me to connect to my router I have to place my phone within an inch then use WPS to connect. Once I'm connected I cannot walk more than two feet before it disconnects. Once it disconnects it says either disabled or null under the SSID. While I'm connected I cannot use apps that that use high bandwidth like Twitch. While I'm connected to the internet I hold 5 bars never more, never less. I have attempted to clean the Wi-Fi antenna if I correctly located what appeared to be the Wi-Fi antennaa according to pictures on Google Images. As well as the GPS antenna I also unplugged and plugged all of the what appears to be brass or gold plated terminal thing wires back in. I have 3G and what appears to be three signal bars but it usually takes 2 to 3 minutes after the phone starts to turn on. I've never had any issues like this with any other device or router or Internet or anything. I may have while unscrewing the void screw possibly cracked the board somewhere that's what I'm thinking. I also broke whatever the microphone looking thing was attached to the screw, does anybody know what that is?
Also the Wi-Fi turns on and off normally it also scans other ssids which I know are fairly far away in The Neighbourhood so I don't think it's a Wi-Fi antenna issue.
I did not put any screws back in because they were making weird ringing noises.

Not a lot of room in this little unit
There is a Thermal Pad and it sits a top a piece of Metal above Power Supply Unit so there is some thermal dissipation happening.
Underside Side PCB closest to Power Pack of Plug
Topside PCB, IR pick up no obstruction point to top of box easy.
Its has power Indication Blue On Red Off
WiFi Chip
eMMC
Look at O/S and UI standard Sunvell.

Performance ok for this type of unit
Found WiFi good at this location, streamed Netflix easy,
Easy Setup up Google Play store and accounts etc, updated apps pretty easy.
Kodi 16.1 with Tv Addons so bloated a little., FTMC will go on soon, Unit running ok for a 2/8
Remote works rather well I was about 3 mrts away pointing in all directions and it seems to the job well.
Small and Simple, going away on holidays, or caravan would have its uses for sure.
You could also remanufacture the complete unit in any form you wish really due to its compact size easily could fit into some really tight places.
Mount in a small TV of Projector LCD Panel feed it with volts, great little project.

Anyone ever open one of these up? Non-destructively, of course. With summer coming up I'd like to try to 3d print a new enclosure for it to improve heat dissipation and possibly pop some heatsinks on important bits. I'm assuming there are screws under the rubber pads on the bottom, but I don't have access to it right now and thought I'd see if anyone has opened one up before... Thanks!

As a follow up, small screw under each of the 4 pads on the bottom. Antennas are connected to top part of case via pogo pins.

Did you manage to creat 3d print to improve the cooling system? I have the same model EAU and i have big issue with overheating (91.8 °C was maximum) i have a lot of reboots... As someone answered above, the antennas are connected to the top cover using spring pins, so the back holds the front end in place to connect to the antennas. I was thinking that we could mount a 40mm fan on the back of the equipment, having a 3d printed case
