    wireless networking is very hit and miss. there are lots of variables such as the quality of your equipment, distance, obstacles and interference from other electronic devices.

    start off by relocating the wireless access point to a more central location, closer to your laptop.

    rover2200, if you require people to help you with any wireless problems you might be having then you need to give more info on your situation

    - what make is your wireless card
    - what make is your router
    - what is the layout of your house like in relation to where your router and computer are


    Untill you give more ninfo nobody will be able to help you,

    Is the laptop a new model or did you get it second hand? It is unusual nowadays for a laptop to have an external card.

    To get the full benefits of the N standard you would need an n card in the laptop as well.
