I won't exactly call it a problem because it isn't now but used to be. OK so i bought my Linksys PCI adapter in Singapore so my sis could use the internet at the same time as i am. But it couldn't detect the (I'm guessing" weak signal emitted from my cheap router. My computer (Which isn't using the linksys adapter) uses a cheap external wireless adapter the same brand as the router and it connects perfectly. When i called linksys to ask why it didn't work, they told me its because the signal is very weak and when i tried like nudge it a little it connects for like a second before it fails. So nevermind...i just wasted my money (You can't return goods in Singapore)

Now in U.S., i buy a linksys router and using a motorola cable modem. This time its supposed to be the linksys adapter (I brought it over from Singapore) that would be favored, not my Compex (The cheap brand) external wireless adapter. Surprisingly, my compex external adapter connected to the linksys router perfectly with "Excellent" written. I tried it out with my linksys adapter and of course it worked but the connection would always show as "Low" or "Good" never "Excellent" or "Very Good" or somewhere around that.

Also, when i set up my linksys router, i have to set it to "Wireless B only", not "B and G". My linksys adapter uses G while my Compex adapter uses B. My linksys adapter could switch to B anytime though. If i put the setting as "B and G" my compex will not connect. But my linksys one will but with still a "Low" connection.

So really what's the problem here? I don't think its a matter of rooms because the router is in the room right underneath the computer with the linksys adapter while my compex adapter is a little further away.

Thanks!
