1. could this be mitigated with just an antenna attached to the internal 
card?  One of the DIY sites had some great construction articles using 
things like steamers and strainers.

2. what is the approximate coverage area in general?

3. what does one need to log on?  (I'm in the burbs - we don't have this)


Thanks for the updates and info.
