When I am in a wireless location, I have trouble connecting sometimes. Why is that?

Wireless networks behave similarly to cellular phone technology in that you may sometimes encounter "dead" zones. In this case, try moving to another location.

I can barely see my computer screen outside. Can I improve the display?

When outside in daylight, it may help you to raise the brightness level on your screen. Note that on some laptops you must use a certain combination of keyboard keys to adjust the brightness level. If you are unsure how to adjust to the brightness level on your screen, refer to the documentation that came with your computer.
