If where you live your notebook is recieveing a weak signal, there is nothing you can do except move closer to the transmitter or increase the transmitter power (which is unfortunately unlikely ).
Sound s like your flat is too far away from the communal wifi transmitter.
One option worth considering, if you are British, is to contact British Telecom and get them to install the internet in your flat. You could have your very own wifi transmitter in your own flat and then your signal would be excellent.
