wireless question

by holein1guy Aug 8, 2005 4:06AM PDT

I have a wireless router in my house. In my garage approx 250 ft away my laptop running XP can detect the router but the signal strength is basically 0 so it says the network is unavaliable. My laptop has a built in wireless card. I cannot move the wireless router from its current location. What is the best solution.

thanks in advance
