    Wi Fi reception can it be improved from PC?
    I have a HP Compaq notebook 1110SA. I'm living in a hotel for couple of months whilst working overseas. The hotel has Wi Fi and my connection signal seems reasonable (54mb). When I go to specific parts of the hotel I can pick up the internet and use it OK. Other places such as my room (which has a functioning router very near and my signal indicates high strength from it) I cannot go further than my homepage on the internet. :(:(:(:(:(My friend brought a larger Hp laptop to my room and was able to browse internet fine. My questions are, can this hotel improve on the router even though I'm picking up so called high strength signal? But more important, in case this happens in different places I visit, can I improve my reception at my notebook by simply adding an air stick modem, or would this conflict with the internal modem already installed?

How can water pressure be improved? [ 1 Answers ]

Our water pressure is low always has been. We are 500 feet from meter and uphill. Pressure is only 20-30psi. Only good water flow is from whirlpool tub faucet and I assume is because it has a larger inlet valve to fill faster. Kitchen and all other i.e. hose bibs, sinks etc are slow flowing. Thanks
