Hi,

I recently signed up for VM BB XL and knowing that the BB Modem would probably be installed downstairs I purchased a Linksys WRT54GC Compact Wireless Broadband Router 4 Ports 802.11g wireless router.

I have my pc upstairs with a Belkin wifi pci card in it but unless I move the Linksys router to the bottom of the stairs I get a really bad signal and often can't connect at all.

I didn't imagine i would have such probs as the distance from where I would ideally want the router (next to the tv in my front room) to the office up stairs is about 20-25 feet max with 1 or 2 walls in the way.

Am I expecting to much or could I have set it up incorrectly?

Thanks
