Just moved into our new house and the BT engineer doesn't install our line till Monday. We've then got to get the broadband sorted, so were going to be without BB for another week or two.

However, I can pick up a very weak signal strength from a BTFON access point. Is there anything I can do/buy to enhance the signal strength so I can connect to it? I'm using a macbook by the way.

Cheers

I can pick a SKY one up that is WPA protected which I assume is the neighbours, so I may just go round later, introduce myself and ask if I can borrow it for a bit in exchange for a few beers.
