    Wireless signal dropped from excellent to good, and according to the wireless adapter graphic is 2/4

    Have wireless router (Router Name
    Motorola Netopia
    Model
    2247-62)
    with Eircom,

    and Wireless adapter Intel Pro Set 2200b

    Both antennas on router in the vertical position
    Encryption is WPA - PSK

    Laptop (XP) is 6m from Netopia, has to go thru one partition wall, so not far

    I enabled Mac filtering on the Netopia, and password protect the router could this be a factor ?

    Have reset the router and laptop

    Anything else I could check

    It could be that you have something else in the house (or your neighbour) operating at the same frequency.

    Try a setting your router to broadcast on a different channel
