My wireless signal is only 2 bars despite being within 3 ft of the router. If I go out of the room it drops. Friend with laptop had same problem. I have tried changing channels to1, 2, 6, 11 and Auto on the router but this makes no difference. Firmware updates failed, maybe because it was Virginmedia supplied. A call to VM technical and they just wanted to prove they were delivering the bandwidth. Suggestion of disabling firewall made no difference. Am I being fobbed off? Do I need a new router? Was considering Wireless N but strapped for cash! No apparent interference from other sources. Digital phone removed from room etc. I'm so fed up!
