Are you saying that if you put in a desktop computer in your shed/garage that it will make your laptop signal stronger?

If so... yea I don't think so. However if you are asking if a Desktop PCI NIC tends to get a better signal then that's correct.

You can also, depending on the router, either boost the signal or add higher gain antennas and get a stronger signal as well. Also a PCMCIA card gets a better signal than a built-in card.

If you really want to get a good signal, do as I did and run a cat5 cable through the attic+crawlspace to an access point in the front of the house. I now have 2 wireless points. Grin I get signal all the way down the corner!

If you are not getting signals at it best, try changing the channel of the router...
Because sometimes there is some sort of interference like cardless phone, microphone like devices that can interfer with your wireless router, so better change the channels of the router.
hope that might help you Smile
