    hello all,
    i am not very good at computers but i can do the basics. i have got broadband in and decided to go wireless i have a linksys router model no: wrtp54g-eu and i set it up and got my laptop working off it ( only works when up to 5 meters away from router), then i bought a wireless card for my own computer(€50 maplins), other end of house, was not wireless. i opend computer up and put in the card (saw video on youtube on how to do this)i then installed the cd it said to install. now it is working, it can pick up the router but the signal is too week to do anything( software installed said there was a 30% connection but windows said the connection was not there) what should i do the room is only about 8 meters away is there any way of boosting it , would i have to buy anything etc all help would be appriaciated.

    run for cooover

    Wireless shouldn't have trouble at that kind of range. Are the walls between the rooms very thick? Or can you think of anything that might affect the signal?
    If possible try moving the router. to different parts of the room to see if that change anything.

    An alternative would be to get an external antenna they are quite effective.
