9. I don't have single wireless computer connection.

I was just trying to help install the driver since that is usually fairly easy in Win7.

I'm sure after a week of working on the problem you know much more about wireless than I do. My guess is a dipole antenna booster wouldn't join the mix.

I was hoping your connection would work well. I have a library less than a 1/4 mile away and was curious if I could piggy back on their wireless during their operating hours. Probably not practical but for $20, I was thinking it was worth a try.

I hope someone else can jump in with some technical suggestions. Good Luck!
