I'm using the TrendNet 802.11g Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter for the desktop. I don't think it's any interference because my vintage Windows 98 computer doesn't get all these wireless disconnects using the SAME USB adapter. I could plug it back right now and it will work without the disconnects. I replaced the old desktop with the new one, so the new XP Desktop is in the same EXACT area/spot where the old pc was.

Hi,
I just bought a dell pc with a built in wireless card. I am far from the router, and only get to-3 signals, what can I do to boost my signal? If I need to purchase something what is it I need?
Thanks

wireless in france
Living Room PC Getting Low To No Wireless Signal

I live in a very old house in france. The main router is separated from my laptop by very thick, ancient walls. My landlord has the main router, being french he has been trying to help me make the signal stronger. When I take the laptop closer to the router, of course the signal is better...But I am wondering if there is some sort of antenna or other option. I am not very computer literate in ENGLISH much less in FRENCH, and everything here is very expensive, so I don't know what to do! Can you help please?????

Isabel, my first question is : are you allowed to make a hole in the wall ? Because it's the best solution, you make a small hole in the wall, and through the hole you can have a standard Ethernet cable between your PC and the router.
In each real case this is the best solution, and in a lot of very old house you can find a way (through the ceiling or over the door) in order to push an Ethernet cable.
