Hi,
I'm new to wireless networks. I've recently bought a linksys WAP11 and
WMP11 PCI card. I've plugged the WAP into my linksys router, but the
signal to my PC upstairs is always at low, and frequently the
connection drops, I have never gone for any length of time while
maintaining the connection. I'd like to avoid having to move my WAP
and I've been looking for alternative ways to boost the signal, I've
tried the usual, changing the channel, moving the antena on the wap
and on the card. I've tried with and without WEP but I still have this
problem of the connection constantly dropping, I have seen articles
about changing the antenna on the WAP but as a newbie I don't know
what I would need to buy or if this would even work for me. Any advice
much appreciated.
