unroll a paperclip, straighten it into a "U" shape, plug it into an electrical socket while holding the end.

You have now enhanced your signal. Oh and its always good to wear a tinfoil hat while doing this, it will make the signal even stronger.

Move your computer out of the basement.

Or a paper clip bent into a "U" shape inserted into an electrical outlet?

Seriously, it's obvious which of the three is the most cost efficient.

 

[Beef Welington]

considering medical bills or funeral costs, probably the network booster.

A network booster is a snake-oil remedy sold on late night television along side cell-phone boosters, while a repeater receives a weaker signal and rebroadcasts it to the local vicinity at higher power.

Duh.

Duh.

And the paperclip/tinfoil hat fix I recommended is a snake oil remedy that will broadcast YOU to the local vicinity at a higher power!
