Problem with wireless or laptop?

    Was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this problem. I recently got a wireless router for my house so i could use the laptop in my room.

    Internet Connection is fine up in my room (2 floors up in the attic) but the closer i get to the actually router the worse it is. If i'm right beside the router (which sometimes i have to be to print things) I can't get a signal or else It keeps disconnecting.

    Don't know if its a problem with the laptop or with my router.

    Oh by the way when I'm close to the router it will say "excellent" but will only have a speed of about 12mbps at sometimes only 1mbps while up in my room though its "good" and has a speed of 56 mbps.

    Weird problem, and I honestly don't have any idea of what the problem could be :)

    Only light I can shed is that these "excellent, good, poor" signal indicators arent great...

    try using one type of connection speed ( whatever the lowest device is ) Wifi B or G and lock the laptop and router to this.
