I recently got an Inspiron 1545.  I have an 'office' downstairs but I couldn't get a connection.  I got a new router at about the same time so I thought it might be that.  However, then I went to my daughter's house and had the same problem; couldn't access the internet from a few rooms away.  She suggested I get a 'booster'.  However, when I looked on-line at Staples.com, I didn't see anything and when I typed it on the internet it seemed like the ones available were for people who wanted to pirate free wifi.  Is there a product out there that could help me or is there some way I can configure my laptop for a better connection?  I have access about twenty feet away (excellent) but as I move further it decreases.  I am not very technical and any assistance is greatly appreciated.  Thank you - New Member.
