Any possibilities to increase WNDR3700 signal strength?

[nikleb]

I noticed that that WNDR3700 doesn't have a "plug" to screw in an antenna. Is this true?
Are there other tricks/hacks to increase its power?

Aside from changing physical location and trying different positioning, no.

don't overlook the need for a strong signal FROM the client device. Increasing the power at the router too much can cause an unbalanced link, where the router out-talks (in range) the client. Imagine a router (access point) with 10 watts, and a client with 0.1 watt.

Using antenna gain doesn't have this problem since antenna gain is reciprocal (bi-directional)

Good point. As it turns out I think I have a different issue all together.
My WDNR3700 is slowing down my network. I'm posting a new thread.
