Default What do I need for stronger signal?
I have a wirless enabled laptop, and whenever I use it, I pick up the signal from the house next door. They use a Belkin Router.
The signal and connection speed is poor though, so I need something to strengthen the signal. Do I need a range extender, a wireless access point? I am not sure so can somebody please help me? Thank you

You have a router yourself?

You can setup the laptop to only use your signal and not next door.

If your signal is that bad I'd recommend replacing your router with a better model.

That's illegal, thread closed.

I also find it funny how your happy to pay for a range booster and steal someones broadband yet you won't buy your own, which is actually cheaper then buying equipment.
