| | Hello, everyone. I'm using wireless at my home and connecting it through my neighbour network, but the signal sometimes neither low or just normal. If there is a way that I can imrove it or increase the sensitivity of that signal. I'm using my wireless adapter built in my laptop. If you know how, please let me know.

Well, if you happen to know where the wireless router is located then getting your laptop/wireless receiver as close to that as possible would help of course. Also, you can buy a USB network adapter with an external antenna to extend your range. If you choose to go that route I'd suggest researching which ones people have found most effective.

Also try placing the router at the highest point of the room/house. This ensures that minimal obstruction between your laptop and the router. Try changing your frequency channel. The default of channel 6 sometimes interferes with cordless and some cellphone signals.

There are antennas you can buy. Go look at CCRANE and check out their gear. It's not cheap, but it works and, hey, you can use all that money you're saving on monthly internet service and buy a nice antenna. With a good antenna you'll probably have more options too just in case your neighbor gets sick of paying for your internet.

I thought of an ingenious idea, and this is based off a walk through of this school I was applying a job for. They had connected several WIFI routers together within their network in order to boost a wifi signal all over the school, and so if you had a second router connected to this network and closer to you, then your signal should boost a bit. But, expect the connection to be a bit slow because of all those packets needing to travel through 2 routers (if your neighbor has one), before getting to the internet connection. It would cost about the same as an antennae, but if you are not like 6 feet from your neighbor so you don't have to buy 100 foot RJ45 cable and people tripping over it and stuff. Or Tell your neigh to move the router next to a window or something to help boost the signal.

Get a "booster" that receives their signal and re-broadcasts it with a stronger signal??? http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.a...amp;catid=21119At least I think that is how it works...

First make sure you have a intel wireless card. If you have an intel centrino mobile chipset, chances are, you do. To check for an intel centrino mobile chipset, there's probably a sticker that says it on your computer, If not, Go to control panel ->network connections -> wireless network connection -> properties. To download the intel software, go to the website -> http://downloadcenter.intel.com/default.aspxthen go the wireless link on the left -> Wifi products -> Whichever card you have(assuming you have an intel card -> select operating system -> then download the Intel® PROSet/Wireless Network Connection Software for whichever card you have (still assuming you have an intel card.

From the Tools menu select Adapter Settings. 2. From the left listbox select Device to device power management. At right side default value is "disabled" change it to noisy environment.3. From the listbox select Forced Browsing. Right side slide the gauge bar/progressbar to the maximum . 4. From the listbox select Sending Power.

Change the value to " Activate". 7. From the listbox Data Transfer Improvement. Change the value to " Activate". With these 7 options, your wireless signal could be better.

reality, I'm not getting 250, I'm getting 8. So in a way, unless you have a pipe larger then
