I rent a room in a house, and share internet with the owner. We AT&T 3MB DSL service which is slow(considering switch service). There is another guy sharing the interent. So three of us all playing online games and download big files. The owner has a Xbox. Three of us have ipod or iphone(meaning sometimes it need to be connected to the internet). I understand the internet is slow may due to the 3MB limit. But I ping 192.168.0.1(Modem) and have a avarger of 5 ms which is normal. Then I ping 192.168.200.1(the gateway or wifi router) which have 50(good days) or 800~1200(bad days). Good days meaning just me using the internet. Bad days meaning all 3 of us are using internet.
I only have 2 bars out of 5 on the wifi single icon. The router does not have antenna. So is there anyway I can improve the single from my PC end?
I just built a new pc with wifi card. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...&cm_re=wirless_adapter-_-33-320-048-_-Product
The ADSL Modem is Speedstream 5100. The router is a basic verion router

If there is no way to do so, then I will go talk to him see if we can buy a new router. and increase internet speed to 8mb or 16mb.
Now I have some question about new router specs: Does 5Ghz have wider range and stonger single than 2.5Ghz?
If the router is set as 5Ghz, and my PCIe is 2.5Ghz, does that work? Is wireless N Draft necessary for 16mb service?
Could anyone give me some suggestion on choosing router, newegg or other website will be fine?
