At school some PC's can get the wireless network where I can't pick it up, is there a way to increase the range on the airport extreme card, by software or anything?
Thanks!

One option, depending on what wireless router you use, is to bumb up the power of that. If you use linksys then there is a free hack that can bumb up your power alot, read about it here.
This app is not only for power increses. It basicly turns your linksys into a limited linux box.

Or, if it is an Airport Extreme, just get another one and run it in WDS. There is an easier solution. Just buy an external PC card, preferably one with an antennae port.
