My Linksys wireless system works great around the house.
No problem in the kitchen. When I sit on the deck about
20 feet away, Netscape is often slow (or unable to load
a page) on an encrypted site (on-line banking, etc). IE6,
however, opens these sites with no problem. Link quality
is 97%....signal strength is 57%. Is this a range problem?
Would an extended antenna for the router (11" long
instead of 6") for $69.99 solve the problem?
Thanks!
