I still say if you can do it, hardwire your router. Simple. On the back there should be about five telephone type jacks. Get a yellow ethernet cable (sometimes they're purple) jack one end into the back of your network card (assuming you have one on that POS Chromebook!) and the other into the router. Now you have a hardwired signal, no wireless to worry about, and it shouldn't interfere with your mousey.

Did I do that right, Plankton? I always always always hardwire my router. Even when I had my router downstairs and PC upstairs I got a long extension of ethernet cable and pinned it along the skirting board down the stairs so that I could run the ethernet up to the PC. Never regretted it. Plus, nobody can steal your bandwidth. Not to mention that the signal drops so much less of the time and you get a pretty strong connection.
