Distance?
-- get a repeater/range expander or a better antenna.
Bad location?
-- Relocate
Cordless phone, Microwave, etc.?
-- don't use them or keep a distance from it or find one with different frequencies.
and so on.. if you know what causing it then you can figure the way out to fix it.
Im gonna be honest. I live in an apartment complex and my neighbor downstairs said that if he got wireless internet he'd pay 60 percent and i could pay 40 percent and we'd both use the same internet connection and split costs. So i can connect to his network but the signal strenght is weak at best. Is there anything i can do to get a better signal from my laptop...I have a 802.11b/g WLAN. Any suggestions would be helpful...thanks.
