In my school, I can find wireless networks and almost connect to them but when I open up my browser I cannot render any pages. I searched Google for some options to boost my connection but all products where $200+ Is there any cheaper solution?

same here. I was sitting in a classroom behind a girl with a MacBook, and she had almost full wireless reception, where I had like 2 bars. We also have to connect thru a VPN and my connection was so weak that I kept having to reconnect to it.I have a MBP and it has poo poo wireless reception.

The networks are not actually part of my school, I think they are from the houses across from my school. I have seen some usb boosters but they are very expensive.
And to clarify I can connect but nothing will load.

yeah I sure do. Usually in BEH my reception is CRAP.My MBP has the same problem too. Do you go to UNLV?

That is not legal, you should not be asking here as it is against forum rules...

The MBP does not have terrible reception, I get a much stronger signal with my MBP than my previous piece-of-junk acer aspire 3003LCi with its replaced from a junk Broadcom with an Intel 2200BG.
It's all relative, of course. I've seen people in class with full strength on the wireless network. Then there's me, sitting next to them, struggling to load a page with one bar.The MBP wireless isnt that bad but in comparison to the MB and desktop wireless cards it is terrible.

If they wanted their connection to be inaccessible to outsiders all they would have to do is lock it with a password. It's not that hard lol. With my linksys router you have to actually go through more steps to make it an unprotected connection.
In my neighborhood I can find 20+ wireless connections, and they ALL are locked with a password...
Now if he was asking how to decrypt the password and "break in" to their wifi then yes ... that would be illegal in my eyes.
so if you forget to lock your front door I can help myself to what is inside your house
same thing really
I dont know why more people dont leave their wifi open? I have a 6Mb DSL connection that i leave open all the time when im not home, about 10 hours a day. I figure, im paying for it, its a shame if its not being used.
Now when i'm home thats different.
dont be stingy.
