    Decided not to be beat by this problem and spent another two hours on computer seeking how to complain about this product. Got through at last and left a complaint. Heard nothing back yet. Deigh

    wi-fi

    Can I ask a few general questions about wi-fi? firstly, I live in a house with a corrugated steel roof and aluminium framed windows and doors. This makes an ideal Faraday's cage, can this affect the wi-fi reception. secondly my existing aerial is taped inside to a window. Will the glass affect...

    Don't be so ready to condemn people as lurkers. I am back to having to use the public library to get internet access. Any school break means the computers are dominated by sticky fingered game players. As I have said I am recovering from a stroke and quite frankly many days I am not capable of...

    I am a lousy judge of distance, it is probably more like 200 than 300 metres distant. Gonna play around with reflectors before giving up.

    Right, I am back using my own computer and anxious to improve my reception. Has anyone experimented with reflectors or amplification to improve wi-fi reception?

    Well. I did , but it didn't get posted for some reason....here again. I did purchase a slightly longer antenna but it did not work. If I make one myself what standard should i use? for instance guessing that the existing antenna was a fraction of the wavelength should the replacment be twice as...

    wi-fi

    Had a chat with library they have no plans to increase their output. They are not concerned about me using their service, after all that is what is there for! They accept that as a stroke victim I have limited ability to carry my PC to their premises for wi-fi use. Deigh

    Radio reception

    Yes, the fact that my cell phone works indoors was one of the reason I put the question to the forum. In theory the Faraday cage should prevent that from working at all. Deigh:D

    Radio reception

    You would expect better of a man of my age but........Having lousy reception from VHF radio in our new flat. Decided that the cause was a wornout set. Found a nice new one at a well reduced price and put it on the credit card. Got home and found it was as bad as the previous one. Now the brain...

    Thanks. Had a while experimenting with photographing straight off the slide screen but this was unsatisfactory. Tried also removing the lens from the projector and again photographing direct. This did not work. Tried some tricks using printer scanner, again nothing. Eventually gave it up and...

    Thanks, XP is the latest supported version. A internet search found a couple of sites where I could download for free the latest drivers. Craftily only the download was free, in order to use them I had to pay! I resent having to do this. The suppliers have agreed to return my money and I will...

    Thanks, but after Hevan's reply I bought a different shape battery and this gave me more floor space. Did a coupla outstanding jobs on the amplifier carcase itself and put the whole thing to one side for experimenting with later. Have a more urgent job in hand. We have about 3000 slides I want...

    Here we go again. Finger movement and guitar playing has improved to the extent that I can start thinking seriously about messing with reverb again. Battery needs replacing in the amplifier and I am wondering if I could replace it with a bigger one. This would take more area which at the moment...
