More than likely you just need a pcie card.  They have antennas on them that are much more powerful than the tiny little antennas that are built into the USB dongles.  I've got a dongle that won't pick on the access point at the other end of my house even though my laptop and a computer with a PCIe card pick them up fine.

I was speaking with my father about this and he said that I probably need to update my drivers. Being on Linux means my drivers are updated everytimeI update the computer I think. He then said that sometimes they work and sometimes they don't and the same thing goes for the cards. So I need to ask what cards have people had success with?

If there is an issue with the dongle or your system trying to put the USB chain to sleep.

Do you think the problem could be the dongle? Would getting a wireless card resolve the problem?

Do you have to click agree on a sign in page when using guest?  Try going to a url like CNN.com and see if that brings up the captive portal sign on page.

I moved into a new place which offers free wifi (I'm renting a room). I have my wifi dongle plugged in and sometimes wifi works and sometimes it doesn't. Could it be something with Linux because the woman who owns the house says wifi works fine for her.  I am on a guest account.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
