I like the signal booster idea - can I pick any type of booster or does it have to be specific to the type of router?
Not sure if they will let me put an antennae on it, so probably best go with this option first.
MapleLeaf, to confirm...when the signal dies in the evening (or so)...you can take your laptop into the main buildingand the signal will ramp back up? If this is the case I would bet on either interference of some weird sort.
With the signal booster I have never had any direct experience setting it up. My understanding from the guys in the office is that you plug in directly to the booster to configure it to the same network properties (SSID, password, channel) as your existing. You can probably figure this out from what your settings are on your laptop for WiFi. Then all you do is fire up the booster again (that's the one they played with).
Good luck.
