Bought a new router and still a low connection...?
I went to ABC yesterday and told the sale's person about my problem,so he suggested that I get the Router with a longer range. I bought the router and brought it home and I'm still only getting 1 bar out of 5 my connection is 1mbps and my sending and receiving are at 1,2435,678 and 3,784,930. But I think the problem maybe that my connection is at my mother's apartment she lives on the side of the complex and I live around the back,but I know that there some kind of way were I can get my signal to come a longer range....I thought about getting a wireless antenna,but I don't know it that will help because my apartment is facing a opposite direction from my mothers and Im on the 3 floor and my mom is on the 2nd floor in here building. And my router in on the floor at my moms place.
yes the building are brick but in my old complex we had free wi-fi and that complex was larger than this one,so i know there has to be away I can get a stronger connection or a range.

The problem is distance and materials in between the walls of the building. There is not much you can do to improve that. The only solution would be to have a repeater of some kind in between your place and your moms place to boost the signal up along the way. Also, the only way to do that would be I imagine to get some type of agreement with someone else in the complex in between you and your mom.
Update:
Large wi-fi deployments do not rely on a single home consumer router. They have multiple wireless routers linked together distributed throughout the building so you have better coverage. You only have (2) routers that are distributed far apart from each other. Wi-fi deployments increase range by increasing the number of wireless routers distributed within a given area. So as you are walking around for example you will communicate with whatever access point is nearest to you.
