I live in a house close to the mall and the owners of the house also own a condo/apts near by about 1000ft away, installed hi-speed-internet in the condos, I have the code to use BUT I get low to very low connection, unless I go out side about 20 feet and everything is great. Question is how can I boost my reception? is there something I can add to my end to help? Thanks Le Bear

In one word: antenna.

What sort of WiFi card does your computer have, internal or external?

You can buy a USB WiFi adapter with a decent antenna at the IT Center, The Mall, etc.

The USB adapter would have to be in place of the internal card, unless your internal card has an antenna port.
Are these laptops or desktop machines?

You would need two new adapters if you have two computers.

Find out what wireless protocol the network is running. No need to pay for a wireless N adapter if they are just running G.

If you look around you'll see USB adapters with antennas by Zyzel, Linksys, D-Link, etc.
