Are you using the laptops in the same room or in different rooms in the house.

Same room - and have tried it at different friends houses - it always records a low signal

It sounds like a wireless problem, it could be your wireless card there could be something blocking the signal to the wireless card.

But first try this go to command prompt and type in this:
Ipconfig /flushdns

Then ipconfig /release
Then ipconfig /renew
Let me know if that works.
