Hi, I have wireless broadband in my house but the signal is very poor in one
of the rooms and rather annoyingly keeps dropping. Is there anything that i
can buy to pick up and boost the strength of the signal?

Many thanks in advanced.

Sometimes moving the router and/or relevant computer small distances within
their rooms room can make a big difference. Otherwise there are two basic
possibilities. Gain boosting antennas and wireless repeaters which may or
may not prove sufficient.

Something to be aware of -- the typical router radiation
pattern is sort of a doughnut -- directly over/under the
router is often a dead spot. You didn't say where the
router was relative to you (other than "other room").
Also metal will block the signal (often overlooked are
things like large bathroom mirrors with the metalized
back reflector).

Next time you move, have it wired and wall outlets for whole house LAN.
Exposed wiring is ugly and problematic for routing the wiring through a
house already built.

An alternate solution is using your telephone wiring for the LAN. Check it
out.
