Topic: Wifi range and hacking...MMCX port from the internal Wifi dongle?
Bit hesitant to open up my Chumby but has anyone tried hacking the USB Wifi dongle in the chumby for an external antenna port?
I tend not to get the range of other Wifi devices using the chumby... and am curious as to if anyones modded the backplane to mount an mmcx or other external antenna device...
I just need another 4-6 feet!!!!
Tried changing the channel, tried moving it around, tried dropping the default speed to around 22M, (it is 802.11g network with WPA)...
Laptop in the same area as where i want my chumby (next to the bed)... can see and grab the connection fine...
*Tries to design a tin foil hat for his chumby* (giggle)
