So I have a Belkin G+ MIMO router at home, but my laptop in my bedroom 2 floors directly above it is not picking up the signal very well. Is there anything I can do to improve it? I can't really move the laptop, as I need it close by for the online racing with the steering wheel, I can't move the router because the power cable isn't long enough, and I keep getting booted from the server due to excessive packet loss.
Are there any settings I can try? The laptop's a Dell Inspiron 1501, I don't really know what settings do what. There's Afterburner, Antenna diversity, 80211h+d, AP Compatibility mode (choices are Higher Performance [selected] or Broader Compatibility), Fragmentation Threshold (currently at 2346), Roam Tendency (choices are Aggressive, Conservative [selected], Moderate), Roaming Decision (choices are Optimise Distance, Optimise Bandwidth [selected]), RTS Threshold (currently at 2347), Xpress(TM) Technology (currently Enabled). There's also a few more that I'm clued up on and have set at the defaults.
Help would be appreciated.
