hi,
When the USB adapters antenna is placed in the correct position for a waveguide antenna mount the can setup is showing nearly 80-90% improvement. This suggests the cantenna is working properlyas a waveguide and not a reflector.

Wireless network signals must be sent both to and from your computer. Sometimes, your router can broadcast strongly enough to reach your computer, but your computer can't send signals back to your router. To improve this, replace your laptop's PC card-based wireless network adapter with a USB network adapter that uses an external antenna. In particular, consider the Hawking Hi-Gain Wireless USB network adapter, which adds an external, hi-gain antenna to your computer and can significantly improve your range.

hi,
You can either use a wireless repeater/extender. Some routers have this functionality. You can search the internet for compatible hardware with your current router. I bought a Netgear WGPS606 not too long ago and it works like a charm.
