A Question For The Computer Savvy

Well I use my neighbors unsecured wireless internet. For some reason all of a sudden im getting no signal. Like, I'm connected but it says im getting no signal. It's also saying that im getting 1 mbps. Pages are loading kinda slowly and limewire is just crawling. The way the houses are designed they are connected...Such as

^=======^
-----|-----

the ^= is the roof
and the ----'s are the garages
and the | is the divider.

So basically they are connected right next to each other. So no matter where they move the router i should get good signal...Anyone know why it would be sucking so bad?

No we have internet. But we dont have a wireless router. And I cant afford to spend the 70 dollars cause im saving up for a car.



And Scheetz... I don't think they are becuase I do get signal sometimes. It used to be full signal but now i only get signal in my room and its either very low or it says no signal but im able to use it anyways

My guess is that they moved their router and or computer. Just moving it slightly can have a big effect, especially if the studs in their home have any sort of metal shielding or bracing. Your home and or how many walls stand between you and the router can also make or break your connection. If you want good signal, you might want to play with the numbers in the adapter software. They may have adjusted the gain on their router or the channel.

As for the slow (stolen) connection... it could be any number of things... maybe they moved their router, or they themselves are using their own connection for something that's sending/receiving lots of data. Honestly, I wouldn't complain if I were you. lol Edited by oolatec
