a neighbour has wireless and i can only slightly pick it up,can i make my laptop better at recieving it (ive asked them if i can use it),i have an old router could i somehow use that? ,ive just moved back with my parents and their adement their not having the intrnet!
 
the wireless system would connect better if it is in a higher place rather than on the floor or lower and also if your laptop was close to the room where they have it... somethings like that will help with to get a better connectivity and high signal strengh
 
there are little usb thingies you can get for your laptop that enhance the signal... i dont know what they're called but my bf has one and it makes the signal stronger than the built-in adaptor that comes with the laptop.
If you're really close to your neighbour and still can't pick up the signal well, it could be that someone else is stealing signal too...
so, if you actually have got your neighbour's permission, you could ask them to put a password on it so that anyone else who wants to pick up signal won't be able to.
The more people using the same signal, the weaker it becomes so using an unprotected connection, you're likely to get a weaker signal.
