How to Transfer Files Over Wi-Fi with Dropbox. Why Is Wi-Fi Coverage So Bad in My House, and How Can I Fix It? If you and your router are on different floors - and it has removable antenna(s), you want as low a DBi antenna as you can get. DBi is antenna boost, and it's not magic - for a dipole (that's what you have, probably) DBi is increased horizontally by sacrificing vertical. Try an external wifi adapter on your laptop. More useful if the issue's distance, but a useful gizmo when you're traveling, and find yourself somewhere where someone's kind enough to leave their router open but it's just a tad too far. Stick to channels 1, 6, or 11. The intermediate ones can get interference from neighboring channels (more complicated than that - use google for the whole story).

Try an N router. Be sure to get one with a 40MHz band (channels go up to 31). DD-WRT plus an inexpensive router's the cheapest way to get a repeater. Break Down the Barrier Between WebOS and Your Computer. Astuce : imprimez avec votre iPhone et iPad sur toute imprimante via Dropbox. Digital Inspiration (via FRAndroid, merci Benjamin) propose un pas-à-pas pour imprimer de son téléphone sur n'importe quelle imprimante en passant par Dropbox. Nous l'avons quelque peu adapté pour qu'il fonctionne parfaitement sur iPhone et iPad, évidemment avec un Mac. Le principe est simple : il s'agit d'envoyer un document depuis son iPhone ou iPad vers un dossier de sa Dropbox, et de faire en sorte que tout élément ajouté dans ce dossier soit automatiquement imprimé. On sait comment envoyer un document créé sur iOS à Dropbox : certaines applications sont intégrées à ce service Web, et on peut utiliser Habilis pour les autres (lire : Astuce : envoyer des fichiers vers Dropbox par mail).

Si vous utilisez Habilis, soit vous utiliserez le dossier Habilis comme boîte de réception pour votre imprimante, soit vous utiliserez en plus l'application Dropbox pour déplacer le fichier que vous souhaitez imprimer vers un dossier qui sera réservé à l'impression. How to Break Down the Barrier Between Your iPhone and Computer. How to Go Completely Wireless in Your Home. I'm thrilled with the convenience provided by wireless. The ability to roam the house with Wifi, or have any number of guests visit. I love my wireless mouse on my laptop, and wireless keyboard on a media center. I understand that the theme of the post is "wireless", and you live in a place making wired impractical, however when possible I prefer wired. Wired Network connections are much more robust, faster (considering half-duplex vs. full duplex on Ethernet), and usually simpler to configure / setup (aside from having to pull wires). Also consider that there's only certain bands that the FCC allows for unlicensed activities, which means many of these wireless gizmos are trying to share the same frequencies, along with those of your neighbours.

Unfortunately for me, other people who live here hate the look of exposed Ethernet, but if it were me, Wifi would only be used for the couch, for guests, and handheld devices.
