Any WiFi signal varies in connection speed. If your WiFi signal is low, try getting a WiFi Booster to increase the signal strength A direct Ethernet cable connection is always Best. The more people that share the router, the weaker it becomes WiFi is NOT a consistent signal because it travels thru walls and such.
it not his, wifi it's down the street library wifi, not his. it wont travel through rock or brick walls.
2.4Ghz will not.
he is doing long distance hacking.here.
sharing channels only makes the channels busy
not weaker, nor does the router get weaker
only range does that.
the channels are shared, and shared you get collisions. and it runs slower. from that, or dies. (slower is range too far or collisions)
cured but using other channels but he cant its not his router. it the cities router.
hacked.
His post is how to use FAR away router wifi
not his,
study and wiki CSMA/CA.
this protocol prevents collisions, until overloaded.
This is why wifi fails in big cities.
too many users ! and on the wrong channels.

A great post and funny to read about snagging wifi.
lots of kids make a dish at school and use wifi from large distances.
so you are home right,. not in the library , right, and now expect the Libraries wifi to be fast at home , that far away,.
well it will never be fast ever. like that.
if you have a router that is 2 bands, there is no better routers.
the library only runs 2 bands I bet or even just 1.
so why not buy your own internet service,
or rig up this.

you can use a colander from moms kitchen

or other dish shaped objects to make this dish..
they need to be focused. and pointed to the library to work.
even card board, cut to a dish and aluminum foil works,
all this is fun stuff,
but never reliable.
at night they can have there router go off, on a timer.
one of the must fun posts on this forum.
did you know you can buy or make a wifi
high gain antenna ?
The stock one is gutless, dipole. zero gain.
The dish is the best. Seen them work down a huge hill to a xzy, hotel, with free wifi.
it won't be fast. but will work. if lucky.
no you cant connect your router, to the libraries router (if could this is *******)
the speed is slow for these reasons, wifi.
1: you are too far.
2: THE Channels are too busy overloading.
hint change channels on you PC.(wifi)
3: your wifi antenna is no good, upgrade it.
4: the Library turns it off at night, (or other tricks you have no control over ever)
like putting bucket over there ANTENNA. (oops) at night.(from fear of turning it off)
get Disknetwork(directTV) cast off used dish and modify it to use your wifi antenna.
This home made antenna must be hand tuned, (ask) (focused to dish)
or buy the thing ready made, yes they sell them.
ask.
why not buy your own internet service.
why not?

check your ram - you can put up to 512 (2 x 256 sticks) mb of memory. if you are at 128 and below you should consider and upgrade in memory.
I have two sticks for sale for 100.00

Sound's like you've had a hsrd drive crash. The message 32768 kb ok is a memory test, this indicates that something went wrong with the operating system the last time it was shut down. It should, after the memory test, either correct the system problem or give an error code. Since it does nothing, this indicates that the hard drive has failed and, unfortunately, needs to be replaced.

I use a usb internet phone which before use I had to install from setup disk which came with it but many net phones just plug into modem but Im sure they have some kind of software for them.try google and look for drivers

You said you have 512K of RAM; I assume you mean 512MB. Either way, you are in dire need of a RAM upgrade. The sweet spot for XP memory-wise was 2gigs. The working minimum is 512MB, but the recommended spec is at least 1. If you upgraded to at least 2 gigs of ram, you'll see a speed improvement.
If you need help finding out what type of memory to get, let me know.

if you have cable internet and you want both of your laptops online all time you could buy a wireless router [dlink dir-615 for example], connect it into ethernet source and voila both laps online trough wifi hope it helped
