we have sbc dsl. I bought a laptop and sit on the couch using it. It constantly disconnects from the dsl. then I click on our network and start again. Is it like an antenna where i have to have the dsl box up higher or my laptop wire up high? or how does that work? any suggestions

check to see if you have power save on your wifi card
Sometimes cordless phones can make the network disconnect

The height placement does not matter, the most common reason for the computer getting disconnected with the wireless network is because of incompatibility between various devices. Such as between your laptop's wireless card and the wireless router. Update all the drivers: laptop and the wireless router firmware and give it a shot.
Also if you can explain how your setup looks like it may be easier for people to find whats wrong in your network

point the router antenna at where you are sitting.... try not to go through walls as much as possible

If you are using a router, get a better router, one that has a longer range
