Might not make any difference, but Wireless G only has 3 non-overlapping
channels 1, 6 and 11. If there are any other wireless APs in the area,
it would be worth finding out what channel they are using and staying
clear.
Netstumbler will tell you what channels all APs in a given area are
using.
Hope it works out for you, jdb. One of the unexpected benefits of these
high tech signal boosting devices is the chance to make your friends
laugh when they ask what it is. You learn real fast which ones have
their own signal problems in their homes, because when they see that
you gave them a ser
Most netgears are supplied with feet's so you can have it standing on
one shortside, this changes the orientation of the antenna.
wifi ap's have tendency to beam in a "plane" wich makes sense if
everything is on the same floor, think small office.
So try a couple of different orientation's

Do an internet search for wifi signal boost, and you will come upon a
wealth of info. I am familiar with the following two approaches (among
many):

2. A wok

When living in an open loft condo, a wireless G router worked fine for
me. After moving to a multi-story house, I found the need to switch to
a pre-N router. The SB series does not support the N protocol, but
those routers have significantly greater range in general. For one

Thanks for the help, the Netgear Router does not have an adjustable
antenna, just a little dome on the top with fancy lights. I have

JDB, 20-30% is below the acceptable level I'd say. But no reason to
dispair. the first try would obviously be to make sure that there is
not a "blind-spot" in the listening room. As it is on a different floor
it could be that piping/wiring is blocking a effective signal.
