What's a good image to use now? [tutorial help as well]
#11
Apparent antenna size doesn't directly correlate to signal strength. There are several factors. I don't even know what's inside that little dongle; it could perhaps be a nice fractal antenna. The internal antenna may work better outside the case. Mine (I have 3) might be ill-placed, cut to the wrong length, too close to certain metal objects. All of them are far too close to the bottom cover. The receivers and transmitters could be vastly different. Ever wonder why some cellphones outperform some laptops for connectivity?

There's nothing here like schöner Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof to compare; (and I am forbidden to return there to experiment). Also I'm not sure I ever tried any such "public" WiFi. I only use it at home, or tethered (by WiFi) to a phone. So it is perhaps different in other situations.
