i have a linksys wireless G router that i use for wireless net connection with my laptop. the router is located in an upstairs bedroom and the laptop sits in the living room. the problem im having is that the laptop will get a lot of dropouts and will loose the net connection. do you guys have any tips on making this connection more realiable? anyone ever buy a range expander? how well do they work ? -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

ok, if you are getting a poor connection, you NEED an "omni directional antenna" Hawking makes a very good one for about 30 bucks and its screws right into the old antenna slot. It triples your range power.
