Wi-FI is not a technology which will give you 100% stable connections and consistent speeds at home. The strength and quality of the signal varies on several things:

If you know what your WIndows license key is and what verison of XP it is for (HOme or PRo) then just get a copy of said disk and install it, entering your license key when prompted. You may need to phone MS to activate it though.
You can buy copies of the CD off of Ebay. I bought a Dell OEM...
Just get a magnet jobbie, I use one and it's great http://search.ebay.co.uk/phone-holder-magnet_W0QQ_trksidZm37QQcatrefZC6QQdfspZ32QQfromZR10QQftrtZ1QQftrvZ1QQga10244Z10425QQsabfmtsZ1QQsacatZQ2d1QQsaobfmtsZinsifQQssPageNameZRC0022?_trksid=p1638.m120
