Anyway to "increase" my modem speed?

Maybe it is overheating. You can also try turning off your modem waiting 30 seconds and turning it back on to reset the connection.

What type of service does your friend have?

Same with mine, an ADSL modem, even same port.

SO MAYBE YOU'RE GETTING A CRAPPY WIRELESS SIGNAL >_>

I think so.. But what to do other than contacting the provider? Because everytime I talk to my father he will just say "Many peoples are using the connection" some kind like that.

If you are useing wireless then you could be geting interference. Wireless phones, cell phones, mircowaves. radios anything that uses or produces a wireless signal can make your signal weaker. You can try to change the wireless channel to any number from 1-11. Each channel uses a different frenquency, so you should check if any device in your house use ones close to the wireless'.

A better adapter to connect to the wireless signal? Make sure it uses the same wireless type a/b/g/n, n being the longest range type.

I believe the problem is a poor wireless signal since the router is next door.

I believe everything I mentioned are issues with wireless networks to make it slower that no one realizes or cares to think about.

I have a small building in the back of my acre sized back yard and it gets a 80% signal inside of it...

He* can also bridge connections if she isn't already.

Thanks for the suggestions/advises. I really appreciate it!

He* lol. And ya how do I bridge connections? I'm such a n00b in the internet.

Bridging connections is when two of the same (or same brand, sometimes) routers/modems, whereas one sends a wireless signal to the other and the other receives it. Making something like a bridge. This can be done instead of useing a wireless adapter.

You have to know networking passwords to be able to do this.
