   So I have a wireless system at home. The wireless router sits out near
   the front door where the main computer is. My bedroom is down the hall
   two doors. I use a linksys wireless router. I usually keep the door to
   my bedroom closed.

   My question is: how do the wireless beams/rays get into the bedroom?
   Do they come in through the wall? Underneath the door? Do they go
   outside and then come back in via the window?

   I ask all this because I want to make my signal go up to five bars --
   normally I only get three bars. Three seems to work fine, and
   occasionally I do get five. However, when its three, there will be
   times that the internet just goes down i.e. when I'm watching a
   youtube or listening to streaming music.
