Best solution for using wi-fi briefly

[Guest guest]

I am going to be without cable internet for a month or more while I am between

places. I work from home (and don't have a car so can't get to internet cafes

easily) and I desperately need it, so I am trying to figure out a short term

solution.

I probably could handle wi-fi for short periods of time if the modem is placed

as far as possible so I'm wondering if anyone knows how the services compare in

terms of signal strength......or any other suggestions you may have.

Thanks,

Aline
