I'm finding it hard to believe that it's not coming from somewhere within the trailer park area. Unless one goes to a lot of trouble with fancy Wi-Fi antennae (home-made or otherwise), the usual USB Stick isn't likely to get very far, especially within a house enclosure. My son had enough trouble picking up my own home network in the basement, that I ran a cable from the router to his area in the basement to overcome this. You might try walking with one of those Wi-Fi detectors around your neighbours....you'll probably find the source closer than you think. I simply can't imagine it being many miles away, especially at the strength you are receiving it at......Walt.
