I live in Manhattan, and sometimes take my laptop to a Starbucks that's right near my apartment. The Starbucks is so close, that I can actually get my DSL connection......sometimes.....and if I connect, the signal is weak and then drops out.
So the obvious question....what can I do to strengthen the signal so it will reach me better. Do I need a new modem/router?
I have Verizon DSL, 3 mbps download....and modem is an ActionTec. I believe model is GT701. At most, 2 people using signal at same time.
Any suggestions?
FYI, laptop is Acer Aspire 6530, 3 GB DDR2, 250 GB, AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core, Acer Nplify 802.11b/g/Draft-N WLAN, Windows Vista Premium
Thanks for help.
