    Hi ,

    I live in a four story house. My wireless router is up on the top floor, and we spend most of our time on the ground floor. The wireless connection to our laptops on the ground floor is appalling. My laptop picks up the signal from neighbours houses more than mine.

    Whats the easiest and most cost effective way of doing this?

    I was thinking of getting something like this, and moving the aerial down a floor or two through the floorboards onto a landing

    But I realy really dont know.

    Any help would be greatly recieved.

    Thanks in advance

    Tinfoil on the modem has been known to do the trick.

    If its a DSL connection like Eircom/Vodafone, move the router to halfway up the house. If you've no other phone sockets get an extension cable for it. Try the €2 shops/Maplin/PCWorld etc.
