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
