Help with wireless network strength?

Question

I live in a building with a shared wireless internet connection. In my bedroom the signal is just ok but not great for downloading. Is there something i can do to boost the ability of my laptop to pick up the signal? Does putting it near metal or speakers boost it's ability to receive the signal? Thanks for your answer.

As long as you are able to get a signal and keep it the strength of the signal doesn't increase the speed.  It's a digital connection.
