Improve Wireless Signal

Hello! I have some wireless connection from my college through the dormitory where i am living. The connection is really strong in the living room but weak in my room. Is there any way to extend the signal or enhance it in my room?

I don't know the type of router that they are using since it is locked in the building. Though i was wondering if there is a way through an antenna or something.

Please if you can describe to me the procedure in details i would be grateful.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Have you complained to the school? They may just not realize the signal penetration is poor. (Alternatively, do other people have problems with their laptop/phone/whatever-you're-using in the same room? It could just be your device.) – Shinrai May 10 '11 at 14:15

You can buy a Router that can be flashed with the DD-WRT firmware, this firmware has an option to repeat a wireless signal thus extending your range.

From experience, you will need a powerful router in order to make the signal strength worth using.

You can also just buy a dedicated repeater, but the college might not appreciate EITHER of these approaches. – Shinrai May 10 '11 at 14:11
Yes that's right, mainly it states in the Terms that a router can not be used. – Sandeep Bansal May 10 '11 at 16:29
