How do I boost the WiFi signal?

Buy a cantenna. It's a Wifi receiver that boosts the reception range of your PC or laptop's wifi card. They sell for about 50 dollars.

Have you boosted the power all the way?  Generally by default it is set at the minimum for saving power.  You will need to go to the device manager to access this.  Find your wireless card in your Device Manager, then open it.  Click on the Advanced tab then click on power management.  If this is set to the lowest, you can raise it to help a little.  This will increase the power on the transmit end.

through radio waves ... try control panel, wireless network setup wizard

you could buy another access point and bridge the connection but it's probably easier to buy a good dipole antenna or range expander.

There are devices available that can detect wi-fi signals.  That might be a place to start.  Your computer needs to have wireless capability.  Most, if not all, new notebooks have built-in wireless, but desktop models need to have a wireless card installed.  Even with all of that done and in place, that won't necessarily allow you access to your neighbor's signal.  If he has had it installed by a professional, or even if he is semi-proficient with computers, he will have his network password protected to keep you out.  In this case, you will detect his wireless network, but be unable to connect with it.  You might approach him, and offer to pay half of the bill if he allows you access.  As far as buying equipment, and then, returning it, most retailers have a "re-stocking fee" of 15% on electronics, so make sure you research store policies.

G will give you a little more distance, but not much.\n\nYour first fix would be to vary the channels.  Some 802.11 channels end up with reflective interference with cordless phones and other RF devices.  Play around with the channels to see if you can get the range you need.  if you can, then this was free!\n\n2nd measure is to improve your antenna (if that is an option).  If you are using a Linksys or D-Link router, odds are that there are replacement antennas for your unit that will boost your signal strength anywhere from 7 to 12dB.  This is less expensive than a new router.\n\nI wouldn't waste my time with a wireless extender unless the space you are trying to paint is HUGE (3000 sq ft or more), or if you have gobs of metal in your walls.  if you can vary the location of the router any, try not to put a wet wall between the router and where you want the signal.\n\nIf all else fails, there is always a spread-spectrum solution like Linksys' SRX routers and cards.  I've gotten pretty decent range with mine -- though for maximum effect, you have to change out both the router and the card.  I only had to change out 2 of my cards (both desktop units the farthest away from the router) with the "pickle fork" design external antenna.

You could buy a wireless adapter.  I would recommend a Linksys Wireless G, which can pick up both G and B frequencies.  And I recommend the type that plugs into your USB port.  I would also recommend about 10 or 15 feet of USB extension cable.  This will allow you to move the wireless device around the room or by a window sill in order to find the strongest signal.  Use the install CD first before you do anything.  Then once you plug in the wireless device, it will seek out any signals in your area.  Some may be locked down, but if you find an open signal, that means your neighbor probably believes in sharing.  (Or your neighbor figures it is too much bother to encrypt.)  You may need to make some software adjustments, but without knowing your operating system, this is as far as we can go.  \n\nYou might consider re-naming your computer to something other than your real name, just in case you're the type who would be embarrassed to have your neighbor catch you using their signal.  And make sure you don't have any "shared" folders on your computer that aren't password protected.\n\nAnd if your neighbor is transmitting an "open signal," that means they have given your their IMPLIED PERMISSION to use their signal.  So, you don't need to ASK them for permission.

If the wireless card is internal, your stuck, unless the manufacturer has a provision for an external antnna. If your using a PCMICIA wireless card, choose a new card like the Proxim, or Seano. Theses cards have a provision for an external antenna. Additionaly, to a certain extent everything has to be equal, i.e., if the Router has a 'huge' antenna-It makes no difference. The Laptop can 'here' it, but can't talk back.

Wireless is always going to be slower.. its transmitting through air. You really want to connect with an ethernet cable, it will be faster and more reliable.. that may mean having to string a long cable through the house though. \n\nYou may also want to consider either a signal booster, to increase the range and signal of the router, or even a newer router such as the pre-N 802.11n ones.

what do u mean "without a phone line"?\nu can improve your reception by making sure there is is as less as possible between transmitter and receiver. u could buy a wifi booster like  http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=48744&doy=21m11&C=SEO&U=strat15\n\nit will increase your reception of around 30% more....
