Signal strenghs?
 

Hello Last week I set up a wirless network using a linksys router (in office) to connect pc with wireless card and pc with this attached http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/product/seo/209874
The laptop is fine and has good signal strenghts but the desktop keeps loosing the signal and it is only in the room above the office probably closer than whet the laptop is?

Any ideas?? how to boost the signals??

Thanks

You can boost the signal on your router by using 3rd party firmware such as DD-WRT. :)

Before you try putting different firmware on the router have you tried changing the wireless channel?

Thanks Nikish how do i do that

If you go on http://192.168.1.1 Click on Wireless > Basic Settings then you'll be able to try out different wireless channels.

alot of the linksys GS routers now are v5 and v6 (mine is av6) and flashing these are virtually impossible and not worth trying according to the dd-wrt site but saying that i get a pretty good signal, the router is downstairs in the main room im upstairs and the walls are pretty think in the house and get about 18 -36 depending on if doors are open
