Improving AirPort reception?

[chainprayer]

I just moved into a new apartment today. Of course, I checked to see if there were any open wireless networks before signing up for high speed internet access.

There is one open linksys available, but I am having trouble with it. I get varying signal strengths between all and no bars. They vary as I sit at the table motionless with nothing moving around me. I get high speed streaming audio for a few minutes, then no internet at all for the next 5 minutes. I'm getting the two extremes!

Any suggestions for improving my internet reception?

Thanks!

Yea, quit being a cheapskate and order your own inet. How can you complain about something your not paying for in the beginning?

I'm not complaining Just curious if there was any way to help.

I'm probably just going to buy internet anyway... always reliable and full speed But I would love to find a way to improve reception until its installed!

Maybe try moving your laptop to somewhere the signal is strong...

Well you'll have better reception when you have your own router.
