There are many devices for enhancing a weak wireless signal. Some very inexpensive. Take a look at www.wifi-link.com for available devices.
Not knowing your operating system I can't be much help with your wired ethernet connection however there is no reason why your computer won't connect to a modem. Try going to the "control panel" on your computer and viewing connections and clicking on the one you want. Good luck
