the router is on the same floor but the walls must be made of straight up concrete or kryptonite. i have road runner, the better of the two packages.
laptop is in my room about 45' straight line measurement.
no one else in my area has wireless.
BTW each time I try and connect, I have to enter the WEP key for the 64 bit encryption. then my linksys sysytem looks and trys to connect. lately it is connecting to the router but not to the internet. thanks again
when im within 15 feet it's 100% and runs like a badass. but as soon i as i get situated in my room its back to suckmode. i have a dell 8200 inspirion.
