Would really appreciate any views and recommendations on this issue.

Many thanks

I had exactly the same problem, signal very poor infact laptop was about 5 feet from router to get a signal, as soon as moved into another room signal was lost, so I ended up reinstalling my linksys and instantly a signal covers whole house, not impressed with the DLink one bit, I see a suggestion of changing a channel might help but this should not affect the wireless range, and if channel 6 is the problem causing the range why is this the default channel, I thought everthing nowadays was plug and play.
