My family is conecting our two computers to the internet through some sort of wireless contraption. When I go to the computer that orginally didn't have internet and is farthest away from the connector, it says that the connection is little or none. Is there a way I can make the reception better, because right now all I get is "this page cannot be displayed."
Keep in mind that the item is connected to a computer with internet already, has 3 lights on it with "Power", "Broadband Link", and "Local Network" under the lights, which are all on. It also says SBC on the front.
Any help would be appreciated!

Depending on the nature of the wireless connection, there are a few things you can try.
First, if you know how to access the router, try changing the wireless 'channel' to 11, if it isn't already. Default is normally 1, which conflicts with mobile and wireless phones, sometimes.
Second, what kind of device is the wireless? If it has a sort of aerial, make sure the aerial is pointing both up and in the same direction as the other wireless hardware.
Thirdly, if it is a portable aerial connected to a wire, move it up as high as possible and in free space, away from computer and preferably not under anything.
Fourth, try buying a stronger aerial.
P.S - this is in conjunction with the answers proposed above. Moving things closer is always good when you're talking wireless.

Well you can move your computer closer to the router. Buy a range adapter that goes between the 2 and makes you have perfect signal. But how far are you from the main computer with the router hooked to it because usuaully your fine if in the same house. Other then that you could have a setting that is wrong.

Have you tried restarting? There is a programme called "Remote Assitance" which helped me in the similar situation as you.
Best of luck!!
