How To Boost Internet?

How do you boost a signal from your neighbors wireless internet so you can get it throughout your house?

  • I have a neighbor who has wireless internet and he said I could use it anytime but his signal is sort of week and I loose it sometimes when I'm in different parts of the house, how do I boost my reception or maybe repeat the signal so I can receive it throughout my house without losing it all the time?

  • Answer:

    You would need access to his router and have to change privacy settings to do certain things, which I think he may object to as you will be able to see personal stuff, also he would be liable for any problems or downloading done by you. I would not let anyone that did not live in my house have access, too many problems could arise.
