First off I have permanet wireless internet set up in my parents house (before i moved into my own house 200 ft away) so instead of moving it all to my own place I carried an ethernet cable (from my 3com router) underground to my own place and connected that end to a belkin range extender (access point). After many many attempts at different locations around the house I found the best place for it above in the attic as it doesn't have to go through any walls up there so pointing down to various rooms through the plasterboard of the ceilings. My house is a bungalow and is 65 ft long so I put it in the middle of the attic but was getting ups and downs in signal. Oh Im using a dell inspiron 9300 laptop also to access this. But the signal is so intermittened sometimes and drops down to 1.0 to 5.5 Mbps so basically I have nothing, internet speed is crap. I have now put it over to one side of the house so it's not too bad there but nothing in the bedrooms. Is it possible to get another access point down there? Does this in itself reduce internet speed having alot of access points? I suppose Permanet is part of the problem too with the speeds not being steady all the time. Maybe it's the Belkin Access Point, is there more powerful ones out there.

Thanks guys for any suggestions;)
