At my parents house, i can pick up a couple wireless spots. However, I have to walk to the road or a neighbors yard. Is there a way to somehow boost my laptops signal or some way to make it so my computer can pick up the signal from a little farther away?

no, its fine at my apt. I got "blazin fast" internet here. Like i said, its just when i go home. My parents are out of this world and still dont have internet yet. I just want to pick up the nearby local business', but its a little far away. Just wondered if there is some kind of booster.
