This is on an ASUS X750JB-DB71 laptop.
The router is a Cisco/Linksys WRT160N V3 Wireless-N Broadband router.
The modem is a Cisco DPQ3212 model.
Laptop has an Ralink 802.11n Wireless LAN Card.
The laptop was originally Win8, but I wiped that and installed a fresh copy of Win7 Home Premium 64 bit.
Internet is from COX.
It's a WPA2-Personal security type connection with AES type encryption.
Currently, only this laptop and my phone is connected to wireless.
Other devices in the house connect to the wireless just fine, no matter the proximity. My father's Dell laptop connects just fine across the house and so does my Android phone, but this ASUS laptop won't pickup any connection (I might be able to get one little bar of connectivity but when I try to establish the connection "Windows cannot connect" to the wifi) when about 10 feet away from the router.
I'm currently posting this on the ASUS laptop on the very same desk as the router (it's about a foot-and-a-half away) and I'm only getting a "Good" signal strength from it.
