I have wireless access from my college campus, but some places in my house don't get a signal. If I buy a wireless router, will it make the signal stronger? What other ways can I make the signal stronger?
Thanks for your help!

No..buying a router wont do it. You can get yourself a replicated which would take the small signal from the college connection and make it as strong as if you were right next to it. Only thing is that it might not be cheap to do it...
Well, good luck.

Get a larger antenna for your computer.
If you get whats known as a repeater. Position it as close to the original signal as you can. However now you have to talk to the repeater and it has to talk to the main signal. There will be a slight delay.
The best idea is get a laptop, then find a cafe, a table somewhere close to the signal.. and work from there.

A router wont help you, you are connecting to the college AP! At best, you might try a high gain antenna for your laptop!
