I have four computers on a "B" network. Signal strength has always
been fair to good. Sometimes losing the signal. When I went from
128-bit security to 64-bit security, the signal strength on all
computers went to maximum. Does security really affect signal
strength, or is this just some kind of aberration? The manuals for
the adapters said higher security would slow the connection, but
didn't say anything about the signal.

Aberration.

Sounds a personal problem with your adapters. Not all
adapters will deliver less throughput with 104(128)bit
WEP than with 40(64)bit.
