How Do You Point Wireless LAN Antennas?
Pointing the antennas of your wireless LAN card is an extremely important process that must be done properly in order for your computer to accurately and swiftly pick up an internet signal. The antennas on your wireless LAN card pick up the wireless signal and transmit the necessary information to your hard drive to allow for the connection to be made. While pointing them in the right direction may sound difficult, it is actually quite simple. Find and remove the wireless LAN card compartment cover and unscrew it using a precision screwdriver. Precision screwdriver sets can be found at any local hardware or computer electronics stores.
