Default wireless network

guys i have a dell laptop with built in wireless card, where I live I always "piggyback" on someone elses network. Most of the networks are pretty much unsecure. I always connect but lately the past 2 days I am unable to connect for some reason??? I cannot connect with the other networks barely; but when I do the signal is very low. keep in mind all the networks I try to connect to are unsecure. any input is appreciated thanks.......

How about understanding that we dont get paid for this, we do it out of the kindness in our hearts....

THE ANSWER (if you wish to read it): Although internet stealing is basically ILLEGAL, and UNSAFE.... The reason you mayb be unable to receive signal could be due to many reasons. They moved their router, they BLOCKED you... Or they moved. Try moving closer to the open window if you wish to get a better signal.

Yea, i could tell you how to make a you be able to get about a 4X signal from a tin can, but for you, and how you would use it, would be illegal. SORRY
