I came across this image in Facebook and thought it may useful to many that facing problem with low wireless broadband signal. This is how the image poster demonstrated how to increase the broadband signal strength. The idea is to use the monitor as the big antenna to get the better signal frequency. The image poster claim it is working fine on his attempt, so why don’t you try it on your own and leave the comment if it helps. The only thing you need here is the clipper. And you may try other type of ‘antenna’ as well, the bigger the better, I think.
1. Stick the USB modem to the CPU casing (if you use notebook, try to do the same). Notice the direction of the modem.
2. Connect the modem to your computer using USB cable, the shorter the USB cable, the better it is.
3, Clip the gap between the connected USB modem with the USB cable to the monitor with special clipper (why 2 clipper? I think it is something to do with + – current perhaps)

Until 20th April, Maxis is offering free USB modem for any broadband subscription through out this period. Maxis is the latest broadband provider to offer free modem, to woo customers in increasingly competitive market. Although few other carriers does offer free modem for broadband subscription, Maxis offering does have few advantages, if you don’t mind to stay within contract.
First is the low subscription fee, starting from RM48 (normal free RM76) for 1.5 GB bandwidth. It is one of the lowest package in town, if not the cheapest without compromising speed. Compared to some lowest price package offered by other telco that only offer 386kbps in speed, this package offer the same speed as it’s more expensive package.
The offer is also open to anyone unlike certain telco that only make it available for student. The only downside is, 1.5Gb bandwidth is pretty low for broadband usage in notebook or PC. You can opt for higher bandwidth at 12.0 GB which available at RM178 per month. For more offers visit Maxis Broadband page.
