so guys, i thought of this situation, and i want to hear how everyone would solve this problem if they came across this.


Lets say you guys were in a apartment right, and you had a wireless connection from your wireless router to your laptop.
your laptop is in your room and your room is in the back of the house.
your connection is strong, but your internet runs a little slower than usual, but when you move your laptop closer to the router, it runs faster the closer you get.

and every now and then, your wireless connection drops for a few minutes then comes back on randomly, and you found out its the router thats continuously dropping the connection at random times. maybe 10-12 times a week it drops.

so you tried a direction connection, and it works flawlessly.

so now you want to do a direct connection from your router to your laptop in your room. but the problem is that your room is in the back of the apartment and your router is in the front of the apartment.

you dont want to have a long wire from your laptop running through your apartment to the router and the only cable internet port is in the front of the house where the router and modem is at, so you cant move the router to your room.
you dont want to buy a whole new router to replace the wireless router in the living room, since that router works pretty good and you dont feel like setting up another wireless router.

in this situation, what exactly would you do.

Why do you need to be in your room to use the computer? It's a laptop FFS.

I live this when I'm back at home.

My solution is to steal my neighbour's (better) wireless.
Here's to all the unsecured "linksys" wireless networks! :D

i dont know, its something i just thought up man, it can be a PC if you want i to be, but i dont hing PCS have wireless built into them, thats why i said a laptop.

in this case, lets just pretend, the laptop is a PS3 or a 360 with wireless.
