Until I go back to school in late august I’m forced to play off of my neighbor’s wireless that I can barely receive from my house, and it has proven to be a poor substitute for an actual connection at best. I was wondering if there are any tricks to making one’s wireless reception better. I have an IBM T43 (power comp) thinkpad and kind of pictured something like tin foil wrapped around the top of my computer with antenna sticking off, truly ghettofied. However this seems far too ridiculous to actually work… I know very little about computers obviously. I appreciate any suggestions…
Well, the best thing to do is this. Go to office depot or your local big business for electronics like bestbuy. Buy a wireless range extender. They are about 80 bucks. Follow the directions contained on the little papers in the box. Voila.
