Step up the wifi connection

Hello Chase.

Below are 10 tips from microsoft.com that might help you:

From the suggestions in the above URL, try relocating your router first.  Place it in a central location away from obstructions such as walls or metallic objects such as refrigerators or metal filing cabinets.  This takes only a little effort and, depending on how you implement it, won't cost you anything.

On the router, you can also try changing the Channel.  By default, routers are set to use Channel 6 or 11.  Neighbouring routers using the same channels can interfere with your router.  Changing channels might reduce the interference.  Check also that your router's wireless radio is set to 100%.  Refer to your router manual for details on these.

If you are willing to spend some cash, you can also try replacing the antenna with a high gain antenna.  Such antennas are relatively cheap and can be bought in computer stores.  Wireless range extenders will cost you more but it will extend your Wi-Fi range considerably.

Hope this helps!
