G580 wont connect to wifi signal booster

I own a Lenovo G580, which works wonderfully. However, my laptop will not connect to a wifi signal booster, it must be in direct access to the modem itself. For example, when at school I share wifi with an apartment above me, they have the modem router and I have the signal booster. Now, my roommates computers will connect via the signal booster, and so will my phone, but my laptop will only connect if I go up to the apartment with the modem. It also will not connect to the wifi signal booster at my school, which it used to do but now will not. Is there any suggestions? I've thought about completely restoring my laptop to it's original settings because at one point in time it would connect to signal boosters, thoughts?

Hi RuthKing95,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
Have you checked with updating the Wifi driver and the Energy Management application for your system?
Is the Wifi adapter able to see the Wifi signal booster?
Is the Wifi adapter enabled from function keys?
Hope this helps!!!
Do post us back if the issue still persists.
Best regards,
Hemanth Kumar
