Wireless Router. I bought some time ago a Wireless Router, and since I don't really had / have any experience with it I bought a fairly cheap one and thought I always could get a more expensive if it works well. And it works kinda OK. BUT sometimes the signal is very weak, so weak that my PC. can't even connect to the Internet. I don't know if it's just because it is a cheap one or if it just the way it kinda is with wireless network? And I just have to live with it... or? From the Router to the PC. there is some 10 meters (32 Feet), and there is no wall between. Now.. Can I do something to boost the signal (a program of some kind. I don't expect It, I still ask though, just in case) Or is it simply to get some better equipment? If so, then, can you guys recommend a Wireless Router (Brand and model.) The model I have is a D-Link DIR-300 WIRELESS G ROUTER www.dlink.dk/cs/Satellite?c=Product_C&childpagename=DLinkEurope-DK% 2FDLProductCarouselMultiple & cid = 1197319390735 & p = 1197318959116 & packedargs = ParentPageID 3D1197318959074%%% 26locale 3D1195806935729 & pagename = DLinkEurope-GB% 2FDLWrapper /Blue

That's not very far. Have you scanned for other wireless networks interfering with yours? If there are other networks you could try changing the wireless channel to a less congested frequency. I believe cordless phones and baby monitors also operate on the same/similar 2.4GHz frequencies. Edit: This article pretty much covers everything I can think of www.microsoft.com/athome/setup/wirelesstips.aspx
