Buy some wires.

My laptop actually loses my wireless internet connection sometimes, even when I've been using it for ages in that exact same spot. Regardless of where I'm sitting, the problem can always be solved by moving the laptop ~half a meter to the left.

Damn, beat me to it. I was going to say, "Plug it into the wall."

It's weird, everywhere else in my room the computer is usually fine, but on my desk, facing a wall, it occasionally has an issue. For whatever reason, I'll suddenly be disconnected and then I wait a minute or two and reconnect. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the plumbing in the wall, as I'm facing the wall between my room and the bathroom.

I know this will sound odd, but some walls have wiring in them too.

Aye, could it be the wires themselves interfering with the connection?

Hmm.. It could be actually. I forgot there's a light and an outlet as well on the other side of this wall . Hmm.... [strokes long white beard thoughtfully] Hm... Wait, [looks at beard] How the hell did this get here?

Well, my laptop and internet connection are so weird, I'm so glad Verizon FiOS customer support is good.
We're getting a new router since this one is crappy.

I'm happy my phone has a hot spot.

Please continue.

I'm impressing myself with the restraint I'm showing at the moment.

I was impressed with the crab stuffed Tilapia I had the other day.

I'm spoiled for crab - I won't eat any besides blueclaws.

Remembered how funny Jack of All Trades is...

I like those big Alaskan snow crabs. Good stuff.

And crawfish, of course.
