the problem i have is the connection, my laptop which is windows 7 gets a 3 or 4 bar connection and my phone get a good signal as well.

my speed's are 2.5mbps to 3.1mbps - we don't have fiber were we are yet ;L - with an upload of 500kbps to 1 mbps.

my xbox slim is using the internal wifi card, and detects 1 bar signal which drops off to it not being detected at all for a couple of hours. is there any way to get a better signal?, and wired is not possible as my dad is wired 24/7

Get a wifi extender dongle with wifi+wire capabilities. It plugs inside an electrical socket as close to you xbox as possible and than you can use a wire or wireless to connect trough the socket to your router. They would increase your wifi by atleast 2-3 bars and if you would connect the xbox to the extender via an ethernet cable then it would be on max.

Usually if your xbox is in a different room to your router/wireless modem, it will be slower, it happens with me as well, although it seems the speed you get from your ISP is very very slow, I get around 60MB, I would phone your ISP up and ask them why your internet is so slow
