wireless internet connection
I can only get a signal in certain rooms in my house and don' tknow why and or how to improve the signal.
I've got my router/modem up stairs in my daughters room on a desk top.
My laptop has the wireless card.
I'm thinking of moving the router.modem to another room.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Go to http://www.netstumbler.org/ and download net stumbler. Once installed, and you RTFM (read the flippin manual - or at least part of it) you will understand how to walk around your house and see how strong the signal is. With this knowledge, you can move your wireless router around and test the signal quality to find the best place for it...
