aight.....my fiance has dial-up at her house....i know....BLOWS....but just a week or 2 ago i had my lappy over there and i started grabbing a wireless signal from somewhere and held a steady connection most of the time
unfortunatly her lappy can barely hold a connection for more then 10sec
soooo....i started looking around at boosters and...well....i'm not a comp dumbass but i really dono what i'm looking at or how this will all work....or even whats good
didn't know if someone had some knowledge....or could spend 5min on google to help me out with this problem
i dono if i need to get her a card w/ an antena jack, if she has one on her comp, or if i can get a USB thingy....i saw one of those
or maybe there's an antena u can plug into USB
pretty much don't really wanna spend a ton more than like 50bucks if possible
thnx for your help in advance hopefully
