    Not great, especially if you don't connect it to a metallic surface (Falls over).
    What router is it?
    What signal strength are you currently getting for each client?
    Can you move the router?

    Well in my room i get 2-3 bars of signal (according to vista wireless network client)
    at the moment i have it in the kitchen but its affecting the radio so it will be moved shortly.
    At first it was in our sitting room where it was getting no bars to 1 bar and constanly disconnecting.
    The model is : Dlink DIR-301
    If i move it the signal will drop for my sister
    Is it not just worth a try as the antenna is much bigger and will have a wider signal range?
    As they are going for nothing..I dont mind about the magnetic bit the desk it will be on is part metal
