We have two laptops in our house. One of them gets great signal reception,
and one gets horrible. I have tried swapping the wireless pcmcia cards,
have swapped routers, even swapped houses. I realize you have poor
reception , but I don't understand why one laptop has no problems, and the
other one does. The wireless router is in the basement, and with the
laptop that works fine, I can be all the way up on the second floor. The
other laptop can be in the other room, and it drops it's connection. I
switch the wireless cards between the two laptops and still see the same
results. Laptop A' signal strength is fine laptop B's is not.
If anyone has any insites into what woudl cause this i would appreciate
learining.
Thanks,
Ted

Indiakumar, I tried switching channels, and that didn't work. However i did
go out yesterday and buy a usb wireless adapter. That solved all of my
problems. Reception is fine with that.
I still don't konw why the pcmcia was getting such poor reception, but i am
happy to have resolved the problem.
Thanks for your help.
Ted
