Hi not sure if you can help, im thinking of replacing my keyboard its really poor and I have problems with typing sometimes but I knew this when I bought it. So two questions really.
1. Does anyone know a good keyboard replacement (possibly one like apple do)?
2. Is there a way of improving wifi
Thanks in advance

As far as I know with laptop keyboards you're stuck with what it came with. Obviously an external USB keyboard gives you lots of options, including a mac one.
As far as the wifi goes, you could add a good quality USB wifi dongle, a high gain one with an antenna if need be, not expensive < £20
But it could be so many other things - the router, where the router is, or your broadband. Have you tried a plug in range extender/repeater, they're only a tenner, buy it on Amazon and if it doesn't work out send it back. this one, for example https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/cre/NETGEAR-EX2700-100UKS-WiFi-Range-Extender-Wi-Fi-Booster/B00NIUHAG6/ref=sr_1_4?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1482685242&sr=1-4&keywords=wifi+repeater0 -
Just get a £10 external USB keyboard (or a wireless one) you like. The PCWorld own-brand ones are fine.0

Why not try replacing the keyboard with a new one?0

Thanks guys, I do want to replace my Keyboard with another just thought it might be possible to use a different manufacturer or different HP one as the keyboard is really poor and I often use my laptop while out an about. I have an external but isnt always practical there very easy to remove. No worries though thanks again0

For the wifi change your router so its not on channel 1, 6 or 11. You'll find most of the neighbourhood is and the conflicting signals can reduce your speed or even prevent you connecting despite being in the same room as the router.This is a system account and does not represent a real person.
