I purchased this card from newegg, and can't get it to receive a decent signal strength, or at least that is what it looks like to me. The signal strength is always shown as "weak" or "very weak" in the system tray, and it is constantly disconnecting completely (red x on the network icon in the tray) I have tried moving my computer around all over the place but it does not seem to help. I have a laptop with a wireless card in the same room that has no problem at all, signal strength "Very Good" and my roommate has a desktop with a linksys wireless card that also does not seem to have any problems.

Is there anything else to try? Should I return this card? Is it the card at all?

Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
