using a net book outside

Hi I have a net book that works fine indoors via wi fi, but when outside the wi fi struggles to keep the connection.

Is there anything I can do/buy to get and keep the wi fi connection?

How far are you from the Wireless Router ?

Are you able to move the router ?

If you mean out in the garden, then yes.

If you mean wandering around the town, no. Though of course there may be other Hotspots that you can use.

I guess I'm about 30 yard from router (cant move it really), I only want to use it in the garden.

can I ask how you can see the screen outside ? I've got a Samsung NC10 netbook and just cannot see whats on the screen in "natural light ". Do you have a special screen guard or setting on the pc ?

Thanks

With difficulty Erics mum...........under the brolly screen facing slightly upwards catching the black colour. Bit of trial n error I'm afraid

I put a WiFi extender in the utility room it gives a 2 bar signal to the back of our garden.

Plug it in as close as you can to the garden
A bit of a fiddle to set it up - but comes with instructions.
