Hi

Since it is Wireless you should consider both the issue as stated in Eric's
link + Viable Wireless Connection.

The signal strength is a combination of the actual 802.11x signal + Phone +
Microwaves + other sources that might generate 2.4GHz "Noise" + Brain
emissions of the user's anxiety state (j/k), in other words it is visual
representation of all the 2.4GHz in the atmosphere around the your Wireless
hardware.

I.e. you might see High Signal Strength that Shows: Excellent = 30% signal
+ 70% noise.

The real measure of the Wireless signal capacity is Signal to Noise Ratio
(SNR), a measure that takes into consideration the relevant Signal adjusted
to the Noise Level. Unfortunately, none of the Entry Level Wireless drivers
provides such a measure.

May be this can Help.

Extending Distance - http://www.ezlan.net/Distance.html

If none of them help you should connect the computer to the Router with a
cable and make sure that your basic Windows setting are working.

If you need to fix the underline base of the TCP/IP Stack look at the end of
this page there are few links to resources on this matter:
