Hey, i am new to wireless routers, and was wondering what is best way to aim the antennas for better preformace. i have this router which has two antennas.

the default postition facing from front is

basically, the router is by the corner of my house and i usually use it in living room which is in oppsite corner. distance is about 40feet, but 3walls in between. getting from 0% to 30% on signal strength. i been playing with it, but cant seem to get any improvement.

so whats the best postition to use to sorta aim the signal more towards living room and not just everywhere?

perhaps

speaking of aim, i cant seem to find port forwarding on this router to get aim direct connect to work. i put comp on DMZ and it works fine, but without dmz, it no go. i know i need to forward 5190, but i cant seem to find the port forward feature on smc router.
